A flaw was found in the OpenShift console. (CVE-2026-75887)
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the OpenShift console's /locales/resource.json endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can manipulate the lng and ns query parameters to read arbitrary .json files from the pod filesystem, including sensitive plugin manifests and configuration files. This flaw also enables path traversal against registered dynamic-plugin backends, increasing information disclosure risk. The vulnerability is rated high severity with a CVSS score of 7.5. Currently, no effective mitigation or patch is available that meets Red Hat's criteria for ease of use and deployment.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-75887 is a path traversal vulnerability in the OpenShift console's internationalization (i18n) locale handler. By manipulating the lng and ns query parameters in the /locales/resource.json endpoint, an unauthenticated attacker can read arbitrary .json files on the pod filesystem, including sensitive configuration and plugin manifest files. This vulnerability also allows path traversal against registered dynamic-plugin backends, potentially increasing information disclosure in default OpenShift Container Platform deployments. The flaw is rated Important by Red Hat and has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). Red Hat has not provided a patch or effective mitigation at this time.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can read sensitive JSON files from the pod filesystem, including plugin manifests and configuration files, leading to high confidentiality impact. This information disclosure could aid further attacks or bypass security mechanisms. There is no impact on integrity or availability reported. The flaw also enables path traversal against dynamic-plugin backends, increasing the scope of information disclosure in default OpenShift deployments.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat currently states that no mitigation is available or that existing options do not meet their criteria for ease of use, applicability, or stability. Users should monitor Red Hat advisories for updates or patches. Until a fix is released, consider restricting access to the OpenShift console or implementing network-level controls to limit exposure. Engage Red Hat Technical Account Managers if applicable for guidance.
