Root Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from debug logging that included environment variables containing secrets. The commit diff shows removal of 'env' field logging in three locations: 1) executeCommand in exec.go (publisher command execution), 2) catalogArtifact in sbom.go (SBOM processing), and 3) Run in shell.go (generic shell execution). All three functions explicitly logged environment variables through log.WithField("env", ...) calls, which would expose secret values when --debug flag is used. The patch removes these logging statements, confirming they were the source of exposure.
