## What is CVE-2026-49824?

CVE-2026-49824 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in fission, published on 10 Jun 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Fission is an open-source, Kubernetes-native serverless framework that simplifies the deployment of functions and applications on Kubernetes. Prior to version 1.24.0, the Fission Function admission webhook (pkg/webhook/function.go) validated that spec.secrets[].namespace and spec.configmaps[].namespace equalled the function's own namespace but performed no equivalent check on spec.environment.namespace. This issue has been patched in version 1.24.0.

Weakness: CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization), CWE-284 (Improper Access Control)

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
