Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-41068 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/kyverno/kyverno (Go): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- github.com/kyverno/kyverno (Go): affected all versions up to 1.17.1; no fix listed\n- github.com/kyverno/kyverno (Go): affected all versions up to 1.17.1; no fix listed\n- kyverno (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 1.17.2\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-2026-41068/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-41068/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-41068","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-41068/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-41068","record":{"aliases":["BIT-kyverno-2026-41068","ECHO-b1b9-37a5-8821","GHSA-cvq5-hhx3-f99p","GO-2026-5337","MINI-2wcq-6jh8-ghjc","MINI-5ppv-qm35-6vjf","MINI-79xh-frc2-c226","MINI-8h5x-cjvf-27w9","MINI-cm3f-gxwr-jwm5","MINI-g9wm-rxxc-wh4v","MINI-gp7m-7w29-gm8r","MINI-hrrc-266c-h9v5","MINI-phh6-hphf-3cx6","MINI-q7rw-7m2c-375x","MINI-qmw4-hhvf-q832","MINI-r3mx-9ccc-hcvf","MINI-rxmm-9h3f-2hpc","MINI-vpx3-j55p-fhjv","MINI-w98v-cf79-32f9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Kubernetes policy engine","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Namespace admins can bypass RBAC to read ConfigMaps from any namespace via Kyverno's privileged service account, exposing sensitive cluster data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"kyverno","vendor":"kyverno"}],"cvss":{"score":7.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"Kyverno is a policy engine designed for cloud native platform engineering teams. The patch for CVE-2026-22039 fixed cross-namespace privilege escalation in Kyverno's `apiCall` context by validating the `URLPath` field. However, the ConfigMap context loader has the identical vulnerability — the `configMap.namespace` field accepts any namespace with zero validation, allowing a namespace admin to read ConfigMaps from any namespace using Kyverno's privileged service account. This is a complete RBAC bypass in multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters.
