CVE-2026-71472
CriticalCVSS 9.1Summary
A flaw was found in acm-search-v2-rhel9. This vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker, such as a hub administrator or a Search Custom Resource (CR) editor, to inject malicious shell commands or SQL statements. This occurs because the WORK_MEM string provided in the Search CR is not properly validated before being used in a bash script and an SQL query. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution within the privileged postgres pod, potentially compromising the system.
Risk Assessment
Could lead to compromise of the postgres pod and the entire system, posing a serious threat to data integrity and confidentiality.
Recommendation
Apply vendor-provided patches and ensure proper input validation.
