AI-suggested

Upgrade Kyverno to version 1.19.2 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed. No other mitigation or temporary workaround is indicated. Applying the official fix fully addresses the issue.

Description

Kyverno versions before 1.19.2 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the Generation Handler. This flaw allows users with create or update permissions to spoof internal labels and trigger synchronized generate policies. Exploitation can enable attackers to label a ConfigMap as managed by Kyverno with crafted labels, potentially cloning sensitive Secrets from restricted namespaces into their own namespace.
