CVE-2025-41240
CRITICAL10.0EPSS 1.3%Published: 7/23/2025Modified: 5/4/2026
Description
The Bitnami WordPress Helm chart mounts Kubernetes Secrets under a predictable path (/opt/bitnami/wordpress/secrets) that is located within the web server document root. In affected versions, this can lead to unauthenticated access to sensitive credentials via HTTP/S. A remote attacker could retrieve these secrets by accessing specific URLs if the application is exposed externally. The issue affects deployments using the default value of usePasswordFiles=true, which mounts secrets as files into the container filesystem.

- Bitnami/drupal>= 11.1.5-0, < 11.2.2-1
