This motivated me to fix our renovate setup, and this got fixed in https://github.com/bootc-dev/bootc/pull/1566

Comment 2 Colin Walters 2025-09-02 14:28:45 UTC
Note our tracing setup changed in https://github.com/bootc-dev/bootc/pull/1522/commits/bf74ecbcc3fdefeaab598cb3fb6d06d926691021

- We only logged messages at ERROR level or above before
- There's very little usage of tracing::error! in our code base, only a few hits
- Almost all input that is provided comes from privileged code anyways

Hence I don't think we need to do any special releases for this and can just roll the fix into our next scheduled release.

OR TL;DR I think bootc is not vulnerable to this.
