GHSA-qhh4-458h-xwh2: @cyclonedx/cdxgen: Docker registry auth substring match forwards credentials to a different registry

May 8, 2026

When cdxgen scans or pulls container images through the Docker daemon API, it builds an X-Registry-Auth header from Docker credentials in DOCKER_CONFIG/config.json. The credential selection logic matches configured registry keys with substring checks:

if (forRegistry && !serverAddress.includes(forRegistry)) {
continue;
}

This is not an origin-safe registry comparison. For example, credentials configured for private-registry.example.com are selected for a requested image under registry.example.com, because:

"private-registry.example.com".includes("registry.example.com") === true

The selected credentials are then serialized into X-Registry-Auth for the Docker API pull request targeting the requested registry.
