AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-47237 is an incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability (CWE-266) in Kubeflow Community Distribution before version 26.03-rc.1. The vulnerability allows an attacker with a valid user account holding the kubeflow-edit or Contributor role in any Kubeflow namespace (typically granted when Automatic Profile Creation is enabled) to steal authorization tokens from other users through the Kubeflow UI or APIs such as the Dashboard, Pipelines API, or Notebooks. With these tokens, the attacker can impersonate the victim user and access or manipulate their data. The vulnerability is resolved in version 26.03-rc.1.
Potential Impact
An attacker with limited privileges (kubeflow-edit or Contributor role) can steal authorization tokens from other users, leading to full account takeover and unauthorized access to user data and operations within Kubeflow. This compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of user data and workloads.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade to Kubeflow Community Distribution version 26.03-rc.1 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No official patch or temporary workaround is provided in the advisory. Until upgrading, restrict the assignment of the kubeflow-edit or Contributor roles and consider disabling Automatic Profile Creation if feasible.
