AI-suggested
A fix is available in Kyverno version 1.19.2. Users should upgrade to version 1.19.2 or later to remediate this vulnerability. No other mitigation or workaround is indicated.
Description
Kyverno versions from 1.19.1 up to but not including 1.19.2 contain a namespace isolation bypass vulnerability in the APICall Fetch() function. This occurs because the path.Clean function treats the '?' character as part of the path, allowing a crafted URLPath with query parameters to bypass namespace restrictions. Users with permission to create namespaced policies can exploit this to access cluster-scoped resources outside their namespace.
