Invocation of Process Using Visible Sensitive Information in Black Duck blackduck-c-cpp 1.0.17 through 3.0.6 allows an actor able to execute code within the scanned project's build to obtain the Black Duck API token via the ambient process environment, which is inherited by subprocesses launched during build capture and signature scanning. This applies only where the token is supplied through the BLACKDUCKAPITOKEN or BDHUBTOKEN environment variable.

Upgrading does not remediate prior disclosure; any token supplied to an affected version through an environment variable should be rotated.

Black Duck SCA versions prior to 2025.10.0 had user role permissions configured in an overly broad manner. Users with the scoped Project Manager user role with the Global User Read access permission enabled access to certain Project Administrator functionalities which should have be inaccessible. Exploitation does not grant full system control, but it may enable unauthorized changes to project configurations or access to system sensitive information.
