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-2026-77524/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-77524/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-77524","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-77524/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-77524","record":{"aliases":["AZL-108090","ECHO-3e67-ceec-515b","GHSA-637c-6jxx-4rwm","GO-2026-6776","MINI-27v4-4q64-34r3","MINI-34c3-v8hh-vc5v","MINI-6mcp-6c94-vfc4","MINI-h6m9-rf43-w669","MINI-jwfr-7cw4-86fg","MINI-wh42-vjq4-w663","ROOT-APP-GOBINARY-CVE-2026-77524"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-918","name":"Server-Side Request Forgery"},{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"KEDA is a Kubernetes-based Event Driven Autoscaling component. In version 2.20.2 and earlier, a namespace administrator who can create TriggerAuthentication and ScaledObject resources can set hashiCorpVault.address to a tenant-controlled endpoint and select Kubernetes authentication without an explicit credential. KEDA then uses the operator pod's projected ServiceAccount token and sends it to that endpoint as a Vault login credential. The JWT-shape filter from the prior CVE-2025-68476 remediation accepts the operator token because its subject is a Kubernetes ServiceAccount, so the attacker can obtain the operator's cluster-wide permissions, including broad Secret reads and workload or admission-related operations.
