      "value": "A flaw was found in KubeVirt's virt-handler domain notify server. The gRPC handlers for HandleDomainEvent and HandleK8SEvent derive the VMI identity (namespace/name) solely from the request body without validating it against the connection's origin. Each virt-launcher pod connects through a per-VMI pipe socket, but no identity tag is propagated from the pipe path to the server handlers. This allows a compromised virt-launcher process to send forged domain lifecycle events for any other VMI scheduled on the same node, causing virt-handler to erroneously update that VMI's state and disrupt its lifecycle management."

      "value": "Se encontró una falla en el servidor de notificación de dominio virt-handler de KubeVirt. Los gestores gRPC para HandleDomainEvent y HandleK8SEvent derivan la identidad de la VMI (namespace/name) únicamente del cuerpo de la solicitud sin validarla contra el origen de la conexión. Cada pod virt-launcher se conecta a través de un socket de tubería por VMI, pero no se propaga ninguna etiqueta de identidad desde la ruta de la tubería a los gestores del servidor. Esto permite a un proceso virt-launcher comprometido enviar eventos falsificados del ciclo de vida del dominio para cualquier otra VMI programada en el mismo nodo, haciendo que virt-handler actualice erróneamente el estado de esa VMI y perturbe su gestión del ciclo de vida."
