GHSA-rxrh-4j9h-xgg9: Steeltoe: TLS private keys written to /tmp with default permissions, never deleted

mediumCVSS 4.7CVE-2026-50267
Summary When MySQL or PostgreSQL service bindings from VCAP_SERVICES include TLS client credentials, the Connectors library writes those credentials to temporary files in Path.GetTempPath() using File.CreateText. On Linux, File.CreateText creates files with mode 0644 (world-readable) under the process umask, and the files are never deleted. The same key material is protected at mode 0400 in /proc/<pid>/environ. Impact Any process co-located in the container that runs as a different UID can read the TLS client private key from /tmp and use it to impersonate the application when connecting to the backing database over mutual TLS. Affected configuration - Application is deployed on Cloud Foundry or another environment that populates VCAP_SERVICES with a MySQL or PostgreSQL service binding that includes sslKey credentials. - A process running as a different UID shares the container's filesystem. Mitigations If an immediate upgrade is not possible, prevent other processes from running in the container under a different UID with access to /tmp.
