Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Kyverno 1.19.2 之前的版本存在一个授权缺失漏洞，允许命名空间级别的策略作者通过模板化或中的命名空间值，读取其他命名空间中的资源。攻击者可以对触发用的 ConfigMap 添加注解，致使背景控制器（background-controller）将受害命名空间中的敏感 ConfigMap 复制到攻击者所在的命名空间，从而引发跨租户数据泄露。

Vulnerability Title

Kyverno before 1.19.2 Cross-Namespace Resource Read via generate.clone

Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5

Vulnerability Description

Kyverno before 1.19.2 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows namespaced Policy authors to read resources in other namespaces by templating generate.clone or cloneList namespace values. Attackers can annotate a triggering ConfigMap so the background-controller copies a victim namespace's sensitive ConfigMap into the attacker's namespace, enabling cross-tenant data disclosure.
