A fix is available in Kyverno version 1.19.1. Users should upgrade to version 1.19.1 or later to remediate this vulnerability. No other mitigation guidance is provided in the available data.

Description

Kyverno versions before 1.19.1 contain a critical vulnerability in the validation of URL-encoded path segments within the Policy apiCall urlPath. This flaw allows namespace tenants to bypass namespace restrictions and create objects in other namespaces using percent-encoded directory traversal sequences. Exploitation can lead to creation of MutatingWebhookConfiguration objects cluster-wide or PolicyException objects in the kyverno namespace, resulting in privilege escalation to cluster admin.
