CVE-2026-45021
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Kuma is a modern Envoy-based service mesh that can run on every cloud across both Kubernetes and VMs. Prior to 2.7.25, 2.9.15, 2.11.13, 2.12.10, and 2.13.5, the default kuma-cp config leaks the admin bootstrap token and signing keys to any webpage the operator visits while the control plane is reachable from their browser. CorsAllowedDomains: [".*"] reflects any Origin, and LocalhostIsAdmin: true promotes requests from 127.0.0.1 to mesh-system:admin. A cross-origin fetch() from a malicious page returns the admin JWT and signing material. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.7.25, 2.9.15, 2.11.13, 2.12.10, and 2.13.5.

"value": "Kuma es una malla de servicios moderna basada en Envoy que puede ejecutarse en cualquier nube tanto en Kubernetes como en VMs. Antes de 2.7.25, 2.9.15, 2.11.13, 2.12.10 y 2.13.5, la configuración predeterminada de kuma-cp filtra el token de arranque de administrador y las claves de firma a cualquier página web que el operador visite mientras el plano de control es accesible desde su navegador. CorsAllowedDomains: [’.*’] refleja cualquier Origen, y LocalhostIsAdmin: true promueve las solicitudes de 127.0.0.1 a mesh-system:admin. Una llamada fetch() de origen cruzado desde una página maliciosa devuelve el JWT de administrador y el material de firma. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en 2.7.25, 2.9.15, 2.11.13, 2.12.10 y 2.13.5."
