blackduck-c-cpp: Invocation of Process Using Visible Sensitive Information
CVE-2026-76054 is a high-severity invocation of process using visible sensitive information vulnerability in blackduck-c-cpp from Black Duck, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.1 out of 10. It can be exploited with local access to the system by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 3.0.7 as the first without the flaw, so updating blackduck-c-cpp to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update blackduck-c-cpp to 3.0.7 or a later version.

Official description
Invocation of Process Using Visible Sensitive Information in Black Duck blackduck-c-cpp 1.0.17 through 3.0.6 allows an actor able to execute code within the scanned project's build to obtain the Black Duck API token via the ambient process environment, which is inherited by subprocesses launched during build capture and signature scanning. This applies only where the token is supplied through the BLACKDUCK_API_TOKEN or BD_HUB_TOKEN environment variable. Upgrading does not remediate prior disclosure; any token supplied to an affected version through an environment variable should be rotated.
