CVE-2026-42965 PUBLISHED

Openshift/router: openshift/router: cloud metadata ssrf via fqdn-typed endpointslice bypasses destination validation

Assigner: redhat
Reserved: 28.05.2026 Published: 29.05.2026 Updated: 29.05.2026

A flaw was found in the OpenShift Router. A user with EndpointSlice write access can exploit this vulnerability by creating a Service backed by an FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) EndpointSlice that resolves to a cloud metadata endpoint. This allows the router to proxy requests to the cloud metadata endpoint, leading to the disclosure of instance credentials and other sensitive metadata. This bypasses previous security measures for validating IP addresses.
