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-2026-13622 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Red Hat Container Native Virtualization 4.12. 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-2026-13622/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-13622/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-13622","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-13622/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-13622","record":{"aliases":["AZL-95943","GHSA-4336-pf6g-hp94","SUSE-SU-2026:3604-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:12227-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"KubeVirt virtualization","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can escape containers to compromise hosts by exploiting symlink following in KubeVirt's migration proxy, requiring namespace edit permissions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"A symlink following vulnerability was found in KubeVirt's virt-handler migration proxy. During live migration, virt-handler dials Unix sockets inside the target virt-launcher pod via /proc/\u003cpid\u003e/root/ paths using net.Dial() without symlink protection. These socket paths reside in qemu-owned directories writable by the virt-launcher user. An attacker with namespace edit and pods/exec permissions can replace a migration proxy socket with a symlink to the host CRI-O socket. Because virt-handler runs as root in the host mount namespace, absolute symlink targets resolve against the host filesystem, and the bidirectional io.Copy proxy relays attacker-controlled bytes to the container runtime, enabling full node compromise.","ecosystems":["SUSE:Linux Enterprise Module for Containers 15 SP7","openSUSE:Tumbleweed"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Kubevirt: virt-handler-rhel9: kubevirt: virt-handler migration proxy follows symlinks allowing container escape to host","id":"CVE-2026-13622","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":13,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in DiskStation Manager (DSM)","id":"CVE-2026-13623"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Module for Containers 15 SP7","fixed":["1.7.4-150700.3.36.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"kubevirt","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/kubevirt\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Module%20for%20Containers%2015%20SP7","source":"SUSE-SU-2026:3604-1"},{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Tumbleweed","fixed":["1.8.4-6.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"kubevirt1.8","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/kubevirt1.8\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Tumbleweed","source":"openSUSE-SU-2026:12227-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"KiviCare \u003c 4.5.2 - Doctor/Receptionist+ SQL Injection via settings/listing REST Endpoint","id":"CVE-2026-13613"},"products":["Red Hat Container Native Virtualization 4.12","Red Hat Container Native Virtualization 4.13","Red Hat Container Native Virtualization 4.14","Red Hat Container Native Virtualization 4.15","Red Hat Container Native Virtualization 4.16","Red Hat Container Native Virtualization 4.17","Red Hat Container Native Virtualization 4.18","Red Hat Container Native Virtualization 4.19","Red Hat Container Native Virtualization 4.20","Red Hat Container Native Virtualization 4.21","Red Hat Container Native Virtualization 4.22"],"published":"2026-08-12","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"SUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"openSUSE"},{"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-21","vendors":["Red Hat"]},"summary":"Attackers can escape containers to compromise hosts by exploiting symlink following in KubeVirt's migration proxy, requiring namespace edit permissions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-13622/"}
