AI-suggested

Currently, there is no available mitigation that meets Red Hat Product Security criteria for ease of use, deployment, applicability, or stability. Users should monitor the Red Hat advisory for updates and apply any official fixes once released. Until then, caution is advised when mirroring operator catalogs, especially from untrusted sources.

Description

CVE-2026-101295 is a path traversal vulnerability in the oc-mirror tool used in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.13. The flaw occurs during operator catalog image extraction when tar entries are extracted without validating that file paths remain within the intended destination directory. This allows a malicious or compromised operator catalog image to write arbitrary files on the administrator's workstation with the privileges of the oc-mirror process.
