CVE-2026-6388

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

A flaw was found in ArgoCD Image Updater. This vulnerability allows an attacker, with permissions to create or modify an ImageUpdater resource in a multi-tenant environment, to bypass namespace boundaries. By exploiting insufficient validation, the attacker can trigger unauthorized image updates on applications managed by other tenants. This leads to cross-namespace privilege escalation, impacting application integrity through unauthorized application updates.

Esta vulnerabilidad permite a un atacante, con permisos para crear o modificar un recurso ImageUpdater en un entorno multi-inquilino, eludir los límites de los espacios de nombres. Al explotar una validación insuficiente, el atacante puede desencadenar actualizaciones de imágenes no autorizadas en aplicaciones gestionadas por otros inquilinos. Esto conduce a una escalada de privilegios entre espacios de nombres, impactando la integridad de la aplicación a través de actualizaciones de aplicaciones no autorizadas."
