Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Kyverno是Kyverno开源的一个为 Kubernetes 设计的策略引擎。 Kyverno存在安全漏洞，该漏洞源于ConfigMap上下文加载器未验证configMap.namespace字段，可能导致命名空间管理员使用Kyverno的特权服务账户从任何命名空间读取ConfigMap，从而完全绕过RBAC。

Vulnerability Title
Kyverno: Cross-Namespace Read Bypasses RBAC Isolation (CVE-2026-22039 Incomplete Fix)
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Kyverno is a policy engine designed for cloud native platform engineering teams. The patch for CVE-2026-22039 fixed cross-namespace privilege escalation in Kyverno's `apiCall` context by validating the `URLPath` field. However, the ConfigMap context loader has the identical vulnerability — the `configMap.namespace` field accepts any namespace with zero validation, allowing a namespace admin to read ConfigMaps from any namespace using Kyverno's privileged service account. This is a complete RBAC bypass in multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters. An updated fix is available in version 1.17.2.
