An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2026-50516 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2026-50516 is a critical missing authorization vulnerability in Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service, published on 11 Aug 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-50516 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service. 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-2026-50516/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-50516/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-50516","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-50516/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-50516","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pq49-h7qm-894f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Azure Kubernetes Service","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthorized attacker can elevate privileges in Azure Kubernetes Service due to missing authentication on a critical function.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"azure_kubernetes_service","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":9.4,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-306","name":"Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality"}],"description":"Incorrect authorization in Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-50516","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Microsoft M365 Copilot Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-50517"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Azure Service Bus Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-50515"},"products":["Azure Kubernetes Service"],"published":"2026-08-11","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-56163","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-24"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-33105","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-02"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service Confidential Container Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-21376","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-13"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service Confidential Container Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-21403","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-32193","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-09"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-29332","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-12"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-28","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An unauthorized attacker can elevate privileges in Azure Kubernetes Service due to missing authentication on a critical function.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-50516/"}
