CVE-2026-42965 Details
Description
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.
A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability has been identified in the OpenShift Router component of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4. This flaw allows users with EndpointSlice write access to create a Service linked to an FQDN EndpointSlice that resolves to a cloud metadata endpoint. When this Service is accessed, the router proxies requests to the metadata endpoint, potentially disclosing instance credentials and other sensitive information. This vulnerability bypasses existing security measures that validate IP addresses, exploiting a weakness in how FQDN endpoints are handled.
