It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-13208 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization 4. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-13208/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-13208/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-13208","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-13208/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-13208","record":{"aliases":["AZL-91460","GHSA-72r2-m3hg-cvf5","MINI-43p5-469p-jpqp","MINI-57w6-4j2p-vpw3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"KubeVirt virtualization","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A compromised virt-launcher can forge events for other VMIs on the same node, disrupting their lifecycle management due to missing identity validation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"kubevirt","vendor":"kubevirt"},{"product":"openshift_virtualization","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"A flaw was found in KubeVirt's virt-handler domain notify server. The gRPC handlers for HandleDomainEvent and HandleK8SEvent derive the VMI identity (namespace/name) solely from the request body without validating it against the connection's origin. Each virt-launcher pod connects through a per-VMI pipe socket, but no identity tag is propagated from the pipe path to the server handlers. This allows a compromised virt-launcher process to send forged domain lifecycle events for any other VMI scheduled on the same node, causing virt-handler to erroneously update that VMI's state and disrupt its lifecycle management.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Auth bypass in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization 4","id":"CVE-2026-13208","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Incorrect Authorization in GitLab","id":"CVE-2026-13210"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Frangoteam FUXA SCADA/HMI Authentication Bypass by Spoofing","id":"CVE-2026-13207"},"products":["Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization 4"],"published":"2026-06-24","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Privilege Escalation in kubevirt","id":"CVE-2020-14316","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-07-29"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Path Traversal vulnerability in Kubevirt","id":"CVE-2022-1798","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-15"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"KubeVirt Vulnerable to Arbitrary Host File Read and Write","id":"CVE-2025-64324","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-18"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"On a compromised KubeVirt node, the virt-handler service account can be used to modify all node specs","id":"CVE-2023-26484","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-15"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Path traversal in Red Hat Container Native Virtualization 4.12","id":"CVE-2026-13201","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-24"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"KubeVirt Excessive Role Permissions Could Enable Unauthorized VMI Migrations Between Nodes","id":"CVE-2025-64436","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-07"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-25","vendors":["Red Hat"]},"summary":"A compromised virt-launcher can forge events for other VMIs on the same node, disrupting their lifecycle management due to missing identity validation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-13208/"}
