CVE-2026-10840
HighCVSS 7.1Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk12th percentile - higher than 12% of all known CVEs
Summary
A flaw in the OpenShift Pipelines operator. The 'tekton-scheduler-rolebinding' ClusterRoleBinding grants the 'system:authenticated' group write access to Kueue and cert-manager custom resources via the 'tekton-scheduler-role' ClusterRole. When Kueue or cert-manager CRDs are present, any authenticated user can disrupt workload scheduling, tamper with priorities, delete other tenants' Workload objects, or induce cert-manager to overwrite TLS Secrets including the default ingress controller certificate.
Risk Assessment
Risk includes unauthorized access to critical scheduling and certificate management resources, potentially leading to application downtime, data integrity breaches, and traffic interception.
Recommendation
Immediately review and restrict the permissions granted by the 'tekton-scheduler-rolebinding' ClusterRoleBinding. Consider applying more restrictive RBAC rules or temporarily removing the binding until an official patch is released.

- CVE-2026-124494Critical
SunEditor before 3.4.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability because the html.clean() sanitizer's _normalizeURL() function decodes named entities like : to an empty string. Attackers can inject href values such as javascript: that pass the _isSafeURL() check but are decoded by browsers, executing JavaScript when victims click stored links.
- CVE-2026-124493Critical
SunEditor before 3.4.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the DocumentType constructor that injects header textContent into innerHTML without HTML escaping. Attackers can store entity-encoded HTML in h1-h6 headers that executes JavaScript when editors using document:header mode initialize, enabling session cookie theft.
