What is CVE-2025-54471?

A cryptographic key exposure vulnerability was found in NeuVector, where a hard-coded key was embedded within the source code. During the compilation process, this key was substituted with a secret key value, which plays a crucial role in encrypting sensitive configurations when NeuVector stores data. This practice poses a significant risk, as the hard-coded nature of the key could be exploited to expose encrypted data, potentially leading to unauthorized access and loss of confidentiality.
