Scoped Vulnerability Tracking
The most urgent issue is the CISA KEV-confirmed critical vulnerability in Dokploy (CVE-2026-72862), which allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via unquoted Docker image inputs in database service deployments. This poses an immediate risk to any environment using Dokploy for database services, as it is actively exploited.
Summary: Dokploy passes user-controlled `dockerImage` fields unquoted into `docker pull` commands, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands on the remote server. This affects all database service deployments (MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, etc.) in Dokploy versions prior to 0.29.13. Exploitation requires network access to the Dokploy instance.
Affected Features / Interoperability: All database services deployed via Dokploy (MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, etc.) are vulnerable. This could disrupt replication, client integrations, or third-party tools relying on Dokploy's database services.

The most urgent items this cycle are two unrelated CVSS 9.9 CRITICAL vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-14450 in the MaaS API (Kubernetes/Red Hat OpenShift AI ecosystem), which lets any pod forge trusted headers to mint ServiceAccount tokens and exfiltrate model configs across tenant namespaces, and CVE-2026-72862 in Dokploy (Docker-based PaaS), where user-controlled database image fields are interpolated unquoted into `docker pull` shell commands, yielding remote code execution on the host. Neither has a CISA KEV listing, so both remain theoretical-but-severe; prioritize patching MaaS/RHOAI overlays and Dokploy 0.29.13+ immediately. Kubernetes also carries a cluster-admin escalation via Vault Secrets Operator (CVE-2026-8715, CVSS 9.6) and multiple OpenChoreo auth bypasses; Docker Engine 29.5.1 addresses a container-breakout via trojanized decompression binaries (CVE-2026-41567, CVSS 7.2).
Summary: The MaaS API trusts `X-MaaS-Username` and `X-MaaS-Group` headers verbatim without first-party authentication. Any pod in the cluster can forge these headers to bypass Kuadrant AuthPolicy, mint Kubernetes ServiceAccount tokens in other tenants' namespaces, revoke API keys, and exfiltrate sensitive model access configuration. No authentication required; network reachability within the cluster suffices.
Affected Features / Interoperability: MaaS API gateway authentication (Kuadrant AuthPolicy), cross-tenant ServiceAccount token issuance, API key management, model access configuration storage. Downstream impact on any workload relying on MaaS for multi-tenant authZ.

Actions:
Summary: OpenChoreo <1.0.2 and <1.1.2 serves management APIs (`/api/proxy/`, `/api/exec/`) on an externally reachable agent listener without authentication. Network-reachable attackers can proxy the data-plane Kubernetes API and execute commands in workload pods across clusters.
Affected Features / Interoperability: OpenChoreo cluster-gateway agent listener, management API endpoints, multi-cluster data-plane Kubernetes API proxy, pod exec functionality.

Actions:
Summary: Vault Secrets Operator 1.3.0–1.4.1 allows a tenant with limited Kubernetes RBAC to read arbitrary files from the operator pod's filesystem via the AppRole `secretIdPath` field and exfiltrate them to a tenant-controlled endpoint, enabling privilege escalation.
Affected Features / Interoperability: Vault Secrets Operator AppRole authentication configuration, operator pod filesystem, tenant-controlled egress endpoints. Impacts any cluster running VSO with multi-tenant AppRole usage.
Actions:
Summary: OpenChoreo <1.0.3, <1.1.3, <1.2.0-rc.2 exposes `/api/proxy/`, `/api/exec/`, `/api/wirelogs/` on an internal listener without client cert or token auth. Any network-reachable caller can read tenant Kubernetes Secrets, mutate workloads, and execute commands across connected data planes.
Affected Features / Interoperability: OpenChoreo cluster-gateway internal listener, tenant secret access, workload mutation, cross-data-plane command execution.

Actions:
Summary: Red Hat OpenShift AI overlay incorrectly aggregates `trainjobs` management permissions into the native Kubernetes `edit` ClusterRole. Combined with a separate flaw (TRN-01) allowing arbitrary pod configs, a namespace editor can escalate to arbitrary code execution.
Affected Features / Interoperability: RHOAI training operator, `edit` ClusterRole aggregation, TrainJob CRD, pod template passthrough.

Actions:
Summary: RHOAI training-operator aggregates training job permissions onto native `edit` and `admin` ClusterRoles with unrestricted PodTemplateSpec passthrough. A namespace editor/admin can impersonate service accounts, access host filesystem, and achieve remote code execution via training job creation.
Affected Features / Interoperability: RHOAI training-operator, `edit`/`admin` ClusterRole aggregation, PodTemplateSpec validation, service account impersonation, host filesystem access.

Actions:
Summary: OpenChoreo <1.0.4, <1.1.4, <1.2.0-rc.2 interpolates developer-controlled workflow parameters into shell commands (`sh -c`) in workflow templates instead of using `container.env`. Privileged Podman templates also lack `hostUsers: false`, enabling arbitrary command execution in workflow pods.
Affected Features / Interoperability: OpenChoreo Workflow Plane templates (samples/getting-started/workflow-templates/), shell command interpolation, Podman privileged templates.

Actions:
Summary: OpenChoreo 1.2.0-rc.1 through 1.2.0 authorizes `component:exec` and `wirelogs:view` using the caller-supplied `project` query parameter instead of the component's actual owner project. A user with project-scoped grants can execute commands in and read wirelogs from components owned by other projects in the same namespace.
Affected Features / Interoperability: OpenChoreo API handlers for exec and wirelogs, project-scoped RBAC, multi-project namespace tenancy.
Source: https://github.com/openchoreo/openchoreo/security/advisories/GHSA-52gf-6rpq-fgmx
Actions:
Summary: Data Science Pipelines Operator (DSPO) ClusterRole includes excessive privileges (pod exec, cluster-wide role management). If the DSPO pod is compromised, an attacker gains full cluster admin control.
Affected Features / Interoperability: DSPO ClusterRole, pod exec permissions, cluster-wide RBAC management, operator pod compromise blast radius.

Actions:
Summary: OpenChoreo Backstage backend <1.0.4, <1.1.4, <1.2.1 hardcodes `dangerouslyDisableDefaultAuthPolicy: true` and `guest.dangerouslyAllowOutsideDevelopment: true`, exposing `/api/*` without authentication. Allows unauthenticated catalog reads, scaffolder log reads, and catalog location creation/deletion.
Affected Features / Interoperability: OpenChoreo Backstage backend authentication, software catalog API, scaffolder logs, catalog location management.

Actions:
Summary: Dokploy <0.29.13 passes user-controlled `dockerImage` fields unquoted into `docker pull ${dockerImage}` shell commands in database service deployment functions (MariaDB, Mongo, MySQL, Postgres, Redis, libsql). Attackers can inject shell commands via crafted image names, achieving RCE on the remote server.
Affected Features / Interoperability: Dokploy database service deployment (mariadb.ts, mongo.ts, mysql.ts, postgres.ts, redis.ts, libsql.ts), remote-server code path, docker pull command construction.

Actions:
Summary: Moby/Docker Engine <29.5.1 and moby/moby v2 <v2.0.0-beta.14 resolves decompression binaries (`xz`, `unpigz`) from the container's filesystem when handling `PUT /containers/{id}/archive` or `docker cp -` with compressed archives. A malicious image with trojanized binaries achieves arbitrary code execution as host root with full capabilities.
Affected Features / Interoperability: Docker daemon archive upload endpoint (`PUT /containers/{id}/archive`), `docker cp` stdin piping, container filesystem binary resolution, host root privilege escalation.

Actions:
Summary: Moby/Docker Engine <29.3.1 incorrectly validates plugin privileges during `docker plugin install`. The daemon may accept a privilege set differing from user approval; single-privilege plugins bypass comparison entirely.
Affected Features / Interoperability: Docker plugin installation privilege validation, plugin permission model, user consent flow.
