validatingZero is analyzing and reversing it now.GHSA-p456-76q8-jj5q ↗EUVD-2026-117213 ↗
description
Kyverno versions before 1.19.2 incorrectly authorize generate rules using controller privileges instead of the policy author's permissions. A namespace administrator able to create a namespaced Policy may cause resources to be created or cloned beyond their assigned RBAC scope, including in other namespaces or at cluster scope.
Still under analysis: more detail becomes available as the pipeline runs.
mitigation
Upgrade Kyverno to version 1.19.2 or later. Until upgraded, restrict creation and modification of Policies containing generate rules to tightly trusted administrators.
fixed in v1.19.2
outcome
Run in progress: no artifact yet.
