CVE-2026-73841

Received Received - Intake

Command Injection in OpenChoreo Kubernetes Platform

Publication date: 2026-08-13

Last updated on: 2026-09-02

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description

OpenChoreo is a complete, open-source developer platform for Kubernetes. Prior to 1.1.6 and 1.2.3, internal/openchoreo-api/api/handlers/exec.go and internal/openchoreo-api/api/handlers/wirelogs.go authorize component:exec and wirelogs:view using the caller-supplied project query parameter instead of comp.Spec.Owner.ProjectName, allowing a user with a project-scoped grant to execute commands in and read wirelogs from components owned by other projects in the same namespace. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.1.6 and 1.2.3.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

OpenChoreo is a developer platform for Kubernetes. This vulnerability allows users with project-scoped permissions to execute commands or view logs in components owned by other projects within the same namespace due to improper authorization checks.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if OpenChoreo versions between 1.2.0-rc.1 and 1.2.0 are running. Verify if unauthorized users can execute commands or access wirelogs across projects in the same namespace. Inspect API handlers exec.go and wirelogs.go for improper authorization logic.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with limited access could escalate privileges to run unauthorized commands or access sensitive logs in other projects, potentially leading to data breaches or system compromise.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could violate data protection requirements by allowing unauthorized access to sensitive data, potentially leading to non-compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, or other regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade OpenChoreo to version 1.2.0 or later to address the authorization bypass in component:exec and wirelogs:view permissions.
