CVE-2026-63728 HIGH PATCH This Week

Sensitive data exfiltration in Gitleaks before 8.30.1 lets an attacker who controls the report template read arbitrary host environment variables through non-hermetic Sprig functions (env, expandenv, getHostByName) and smuggle them out via attacker-triggered DNS lookups. Because Gitleaks runs in CI/CD with broad access to credentials, tokens, and API keys - including the very secrets it just discovered during a scan - a malicious template turns the scanner into an exfiltration channel. A detailed public write-up describing the technique and the fix exists; there is no CISA KEV listing, so this reflects a demonstrated technique rather than confirmed active exploitation.
