Summary
OpenChoreo before versions 1.0.4, 1.1.4, and 1.2.0-rc.2 has a vulnerability in Workflow Plane templates where developer-controlled parameters are interpolated into shell code executed via sh -c instead of being passed through container.env. This allows arbitrary commands to run in workflow pods, and affected privileged Podman templates lacked hostUsers: false.
Risk Assessment
Risk of unauthorized command execution in workflow pods, potentially leading to privilege escalation or environment compromise.
Recommendation
Update OpenChoreo to versions 1.0.4, 1.1.4, or 1.2.0-rc.2, which include the fix.
Other vulnerabilities in OpenChoreo
See all- CVE-2026-73843Critical
OpenChoreo prior to 1.0.2 and 1.1.2 served caller-facing management APIs on the externally reachable agent listener without authentication, allowing network-reachable attackers to invoke /api/proxy/ and /api/exec/ operations, proxy the data-plane Kubernetes API, and execute commands in workload pods in multi-cluster deployments.
- CVE-2026-73842Critical
OpenChoreo prior to 1.0.3, 1.1.3, and 1.2.0-rc.2 exposed /api/proxy/, /api/exec/, and /api/wirelogs/ on an internal listener without requiring a client certificate or token, allowing any network-reachable caller to read tenant Kubernetes Secrets, mutate workloads, and execute commands across connected data planes.
- CVE-2026-73841High
OpenChoreo before versions 1.1.6 and 1.2.3 authorizes component:exec and wirelogs:view using the caller-supplied project query parameter instead of the component's owner project name. This allows a user with project-scoped grants to execute commands and read wirelogs from components owned by other projects in the same namespace.
- CVE-2026-73840Medium
OpenChoreo prior to versions 1.0.3, 1.1.3, and 1.2.0-rc.2 has a vulnerability in the POST /api/v1alpha1/autobuild endpoint. Webhook provider selection relies on attacker-controlled X-Event-Key, and Bitbucket requests are accepted without HMAC-SHA256 verification. This allows unauthenticated build triggers for components matched by repository URL and branch, including cross-provider attacks using attacker-supplied commit SHAs.
- CVE-2026-73666High
OpenChoreo before versions 1.0.4, 1.1.4, and 1.2.1 has a vulnerability in the Backstage backend where default authentication policy is hardcoded to be disabled and guest access is allowed outside development. This results in unauthenticated access to /api/*, allowing unauthenticated catalog reads, scaffolder log reads, and catalog location creation or deletion.
Original NVD description (English source)
OpenChoreo is a complete, open-source developer platform for Kubernetes. Prior to 1.0.4, 1.1.4, and 1.2.0-rc.2, OpenChoreo Workflow Plane templates under samples/getting-started/workflow-templates/ interpolated developer-controlled workflow parameters into shell program text executed through sh -c instead of passing the values through container.env, allowing arbitrary commands to run in workflow pods while affected privileged Podman templates lacked hostUsers: false. This issue is fixed in versions 1.0.4, 1.1.4, and 1.2.0-rc.2.
