CVE-2026-33634
Overview
This vulnerability is a supply chain compromise involving credential theft and unauthorized code injection. The root cause is improper credential management and non-atomic credential rotation, which allowed an attacker to use valid tokens to push malicious commits and replace version tags in GitHub repositories. The affected components include the aquasecurity Trivy binary (version 0.69.4), the trivy-action GitHub Action (versions 0.0.1 to 0.34.2), and the setup-trivy GitHub Action (versions 0.2.0 to 0.2.6).
Vulnerability Description
Trivy is a security scanner. On March 19, 2026, a threat actor used compromised credentials to publish a malicious Trivy v0.69.4 release, force-push 76 of 77 version tags in `aquasecurity/trivy-action` to credential-stealing malware, and replace all 7 tags in `aquasecurity/setup-trivy` with malicious commits. This incident is a continuation of the supply chain attack that began in late February 2026. Following the initial disclosure on March 1, credential rotation was performed but was not atomic (not all credentials were revoked simultaneously). The attacker could have use a valid token to exfiltrate newly rotated secrets during the rotation window (which lasted a few days). This could have allowed the attacker to retain access and execute the March 19 attack. Affected components include the `aquasecurity/trivy` Go / Container image version 0.69.4, the `aquasecurity/trivy-action` GitHub Action versions 0.0.1 – 0.34.2 (76/77), and the`aquasecurity/setup-trivy` GitHub Action versions 0.2.0 – 0.2.6, prior to the recreation of 0.2.6 with a safe commit. Known safe versions include versions 0.69.2 and 0.69.3 of the Trivy binary, version 0.35.0 of trivy-action, and version 0.2.6 of setup-trivy. Additionally, take other mitigations to ensure the safety of secrets. If there is any possibility that a compromised version ran in one's environment, all secrets accessible to affected pipelines must be treated as exposed and rotated immediately. Check whether one's organization pulled or executed Trivy v0.69.4 from any source. Remove any affected artifacts immediately. Review all workflows using `aquasecurity/trivy-action` or `aquasecurity/setup-trivy`. Those who referenced a version tag rather than a full commit SHA should check workflow run logs from March 19–20, 2026 for signs of compromise. Look for repositories named `tpcp-docs` in one's GitHub organization. The presence of such a repository may indicate that the fallback exfiltration mechanism was triggered and secrets were successfully stolen. Pin GitHub Actions to full, immutable commit SHA hashes, don't use mutable version tags.
Impact
An attacker with compromised credentials and valid tokens was able to inject malicious code into widely used GitHub Actions and container images, enabling credential theft and potential secret exfiltration. This attack requires prior access to repository credentials and the ability to push tags and commits. The attacker could access and steal secrets from affected CI/CD pipelines, leading to data breaches and lateral movement within organizations. The CVSS vector indicates network attack with low complexity, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Solution
Users must immediately verify whether Trivy v0.69.4 or affected trivy-action and setup-trivy versions were pulled or executed. Remove all affected artifacts and rotate all secrets accessible to impacted pipelines. Upgrade to known safe versions: Trivy binary 0.69.2 or 0.69.3, trivy-action 0.35.0, and setup-trivy 0.2.6 with safe commits. Pin GitHub Actions to immutable full commit SHA hashes instead of mutable version tags.
