Description

CVE-2026-119115 is an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the issuer resolution logic of AWS Private CA Connector for Kubernetes. Authenticated users with approval policies limited to namespace-scoped issuers could, under certain conditions, obtain certificates signed by cluster-scoped issuers they are not authorized to use. This includes the ability to obtain subordinate CA certificates. The issue affects aws-privateca-issuer versions before v1.10.1 and the AWS Private CA Connector for Kubernetes EKS add-on before v1.10.1-eksbuild.1. AWS has published a security bulletin with details and remediation guidance.
