CVE ID :CVE-2026-18621
Published : Aug. 10, 2026, 8:44 p.m. | 43 minutes ago
Description :A flaw was found in Data Science Pipelines (DSP). An attacker with namespace editor privileges can bypass security hardening by submitting a malicious Argo Workflow through the V1 API path. This allows the API server to create pods with elevated privileges, acting as a 'confused deputy' on behalf of the attacker. Successful exploitation grants the attacker node-root access, enabling arbitrary code execution and full control over the underlying node.
Severity: 7.6 | HIGH
