CVE-2025-29778 Details
Description
Kyverno is a policy engine designed for cloud native platform engineering teams. Prior to version 1.14.0-alpha.1, Kyverno ignores subjectRegExp and IssuerRegExp while verifying artifact's sign with keyless mode. It allows the attacker to deploy kubernetes resources with the artifacts that were signed by unexpected certificate. Deploying these unauthorized kubernetes resources can lead to full compromise of kubernetes cluster. Version 1.14.0-alpha.1 contains a patch for the issue.
A vulnerability exists in Kyverno versions 1.13.0 through 1.13.5 and prior to 1.14.0-alpha.1, where the policy engine disregards the subjectRegExp and issuerRegExp fields during artifact signature verification in keyless mode. This oversight allows attackers to deploy Kubernetes resources using artifacts signed by unauthorized certificates. The deployment of such resources could lead to a complete compromise of the Kubernetes cluster.
Users can upgrade to Kyverno versions 1.13.6 or 1.14.0 to address this vulnerability.
