Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Red Hat has published an advisory for CVE-2026-13451. The advisory does not explicitly state that a fix is currently available or provide patch links. Until a fix is released, restrict create/update permissions on InferenceService custom resources to trusted users only to reduce risk. Monitor Red Hat's advisory for updates on patches or mitigations.

Description

CVE-2026-13451 is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in KServe used by Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI). A namespace-scoped user with create/update permissions on InferenceService custom resources can exploit this by supplying a malicious storageUri. This causes the storage-initializer init container to make arbitrary HTTP/HTTPS requests from inside the cluster, potentially exposing sensitive information such as IAM credentials or internal cluster services.

Impact

Exploitation allows an authenticated, low-privileged user to cause the cluster's storage-initializer container to make arbitrary outbound HTTP/HTTPS requests. This can lead to disclosure of sensitive information such as cloud IAM credentials associated with the node or access to internal cluster services that are otherwise protected. The confidentiality of the cluster environment is compromised, but integrity and availability are not impacted according to the CVSS vector.
