DescriptionCVE.org

Composer is a dependency Manager for the PHP language. Prior to 2.2.29 and 2.10.2, when Composer is run with -vvv debug verbosity, it could print a credential embedded in the username slot of a repository or package URL, such as a GitHub Personal Access Token in https://TOKEN@host/, to debug output because AuthHelper, Url::sanitize, and ProcessExecutor did not sanitize username-only URL credentials. This issue is fixed in versions 2.2.29 and 2.10.2.

AnalysisAI

Credential leakage in Composer PHP dependency manager exposes sensitive tokens - such as GitHub Personal Access Tokens embedded in repository URLs - to debug output when the tool is invoked with the -vvv verbosity flag. Affected versions prior to 2.2.29 (LTS branch) and 2.10.2 fail to sanitize username-slot URL credentials (e.g., https://TOKEN@host/) across three components: AuthHelper, Url::sanitize, and ProcessExecutor. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Configure repo URL with embedded token
Delivery
Invoke Composer with -vvv flag
Exploit
Unsanitized URL printed to debug output
Execution
Attacker reads log artifact or terminal
Persist
Extract credential from output
Impact
Use token to access private repositories

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two concurrent conditions: Composer must be invoked with the -vvv (triple-verbose) debug flag, and at least one repository or package source must be configured with a credential embedded in the URL userinfo component (e.g., https://TOKEN@host/ format). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS 3.1 score of 4.7 (AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) accurately reflects the constrained exploitation conditions: local access, high complexity due to the non-default -vvv flag requirement, and low-privilege execution. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A developer or CI/CD pipeline invokes Composer with -vvv to debug a package resolution failure against a private GitHub registry configured with a PAT in the URL (https://TOKEN@github.com/org/repo). Composer prints the unsanitized URL to stdout, which is captured in the CI/CD build log. …
Remediation Upgrade Composer to version 2.2.29 (LTS branch) or 2.10.2 (stable branch), which apply credential sanitization in AuthHelper, Url::sanitize, and ProcessExecutor. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
