CVE-2019-13509: In Docker CE and EE before 18.09.8 (as well as Docker EE before 17.06.2-ee-23 and 18.x before 18.03.1-ee-10...

In Docker CE and EE before 18.09.8 (as well as Docker EE before 17.06.2-ee-23 and 18.x before 18.03.1-ee-10), Docker Engine in debug mode may sometimes add secrets to the debug log. This applies to a scenario where docker stack deploy is run to redeploy a stack that includes (non external) secrets. It potentially applies to other API users of the stack API if they resend the secret.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Docker Engine versions could accidentally write application secrets into debug logs during specific stack redeploy workflows. The main business risk is credential exposure through log systems, not remote takeover. Impact depends on whether debug mode was enabled, affected versions were used, and who could access retained logs. Exposure is most likely in legacy Docker environments using debug logging and stack deployments with Docker-managed secrets. Centralized logging, long log retention, or broad log access increases risk. Current environments on fixed vendor packages are less likely exposed. Treat this as a targeted cleanup issue for legacy container platforms. Prioritize teams with older Docker Engine, debug logging, and shared log access. The urgency rises if logs are retained centrally or secrets have not been rotated since affected redeploys. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Docker CE/EE to fixed versions or vendor-supported patched packages.; Disable Docker Engine debug logging unless actively troubleshooting.; Restrict access to Docker debug logs and centralized log stores..
