Nextflow is a DSL for data-driven computational pipelines. From 25.09.2-edge until 25.10.6 and 26.04.3, nextflow auth login writes Seqera Platform OIDC bearer tokens to ${NXF_HOME:-~/.nextflow}/seqera-auth.config through AuthCommandImpl.writeConfig in plugins/nf-tower/src/main/io/seqera/tower/plugin/auth/AuthCommandImpl.groovy without setting restrictive file permissions, allowing the default umask 022 to create the file with mode 0644. On a multi-user POSIX host, a local user who can traverse the victim's home directory can read seqera-auth.config and impersonate the victim against Seqera Platform within the token's scope. Single-user systems and headless CI runners that do not use the interactive login flow are not affected. This issue is fixed in 25.10.6 and 26.04.3.

GHSA-92qf-fcph-v5wr — nextflow auth login command has incorrect default permissions

2026-10-06T01:51:32.714063+00:00

Affected: Maven: io.nextflow:nextflow

### Impact

`nextflow auth login` persists Seqera Platform OIDC tokens to `${NXF_HOME:-~/.nextflow}/seqera-auth.config`. The file is created via Java NIO without specifying file permissions, so under the default `umask 022` it lands at mode `0644` (world-readable).

On a multi-user POSIX host — typically an HPC login node, shared workstation, or jump host — any local user able to traverse the victim's home directory can read the file and obtain a valid Platform bearer token, enabling impersonation against Seqera Platform within the token's scope.

Single-user systems and headless CI runners, which do not invoke the interactive login flow, are not affected.

Affected versions: `25.09.2-edge` through `26.04.1`. ### Patches

Fixed in ``. The patched code applies mode `0600` to `seqera-auth.config` immediately after writing it, and re-applies on every subsequent login so any pre-existing world-readable copy left by an earlier version is tightened.

Tokens previously stored in the file must be treated as disclosed. After upgrading, run `nextflow auth logout`, revoke the token in the Seqera Platform UI, and run `nextflow auth login` again.

### Workarounds Restrict the file and its parent directory:

`chmod 600 "${NXF_HOME:-$HOME/.nextflow}/seqera-auth.config"` `chmod 700 "${NXF_HOME:-$HOME/.nextflow}"`

Alternatively, supply the Platform token via the `TOWER_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment variable instead of running `nextflow auth login`.
