MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 1 tactic: Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires that IBM Concert's container build process recursively copies build context directories into images (the vulnerable default behavior in versions 1.0.0 through 3.0.0), causing sensitive files present in the build context to be embedded in the resulting image. Exploitation then requires local access to that image - for example the ability to pull it from a registry, read image layers, or access a running/stored container. Limiting factors: the attack vector is local (AV:L), not network-reachable, so the attacker must already be able to obtain the built image; impact is confined to disclosure of whatever sensitive files happened to reside in the build context (C:H, no integrity or availability impact). No authentication against the application itself is needed (PR:N), and no user interaction is required. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but low-urgency issue. The vendor CVSS of 6.2 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) is driven almost entirely by the C:H confidentiality impact; the AV:L attack vector caps real-world reach because exploitation requires local access to the produced container image, not a network-facing endpoint. There is no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis, so this is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' - not active exploitation. No SSVC decision data is provided. The description's phrase 'local attacker' is consistent with the AV:L vector, so signals are internally coherent (no CVSS-vs-description conflict). Note the PR:N/local combination is unusual: it reflects that anyone able to read/pull the built image obtains the baked-in secrets without needing credentials on the app itself. Bottom line: a real weakness (secrets leaking into container images) but a moderate, not urgent, priority given local vector, no exploitation signals, and an available vendor patch. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A build pipeline for IBM Concert recursively copies the entire build context directory into the container image, embedding sensitive files (e.g., credentials, keys, config) that were not meant to ship. A local attacker - or anyone with access to the image registry or a running container - inspects the image layers and extracts those secrets. No public PoC exists; the attack is trivial (image layer inspection) once the image is obtainable. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 22, 2026
Build-context directories belonging to IBM Concert 1.0.0 through 3.0.0 are recursively copied into produced container images, so any sensitive files sitting in that context (credentials, config files, keys, environment files) are baked into the image layers and disclosed to anyone who can pull the image or read its filesystem. The issue is local in nature (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 6.2): an attacker must already be able to obtain or access the built image, and no authentication or user interaction is involved, but the confidentiality impact on whatever was left in the build context is high, with no integrity or availability effect. There is no confirmed active exploitation (no CISA KEV listing) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so this is a genuine but low-urgency information-disclosure hygiene defect that matters most where images are pushed to shared or externally reachable registries.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: consult IBM's advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7288830, which documents the fix for the recursive build-context copying behavior in IBM Concert 1.0.0 through 3.0.0; upgrade to the corrected release identified there, as no exact fix version is specified in the available data. Because the vulnerable artifacts are already-built images, patching the tool alone is not sufficient - every image produced by an affected Concert version should be treated as potentially containing leaked build-context files, rebuilt after upgrading, and purged from registries, with any credentials or keys that may have been embedded rotated immediately. As compensating controls pending or alongside the upgrade, add a .dockerignore (or the equivalent exclusion manifest) that removes .env, .git, *.pem, *kubeconfig*, /secrets/ and similar paths from the build context before it is packaged, and restructure builds so secrets are injected at runtime via mounted secret stores or build secrets rather than copied as files; the trade-off is that overly broad ignore rules can break builds that legitimately depend on excluded files, so rules must be tested. Where images are already published, tightening registry access controls and disabling anonymous pulls reduces who can reach the layers, at the cost of breaking downstream consumers that rely on open access. Finally, run layer-level secret scanning on existing image inventories to determine what was actually exposed, since that finding drives whether credential rotation is required.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause maps to CWE-552 (Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties): the container build pipeline recursively pulls the entire build context - not just the explicitly referenced artifacts - into the image being assembled. In a normal Docker-style workflow the context directory is the working tree handed to the builder, and anything in it is transferred and, when copied by a broad COPY/ADD step or an equivalent internal staging routine, persisted into the resulting layers. Files that developers reasonably expect to stay local (.env, cloud credential files, SSH keys, kubeconfigs, database connection strings, internal certificates) therefore become part of the shipped artifact and remain recoverable from image layers and registry blobs even if later deleted in a subsequent layer. The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:ibm:concert:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers the affected IBM Concert releases from 1.0.0 through 3.0.0; the vendor rate this as an information-disclosure and build-context/path handling defect specific to that version span. Note that AV:L in the assessed vector reflects the requirement to already possess or reach the built image rather than any network-facing attack surface in Concert itself.
