CVE-2026-24176Network attack vector

Authenticated cross-namespace data tampering via PodGang references

Published Apr 21, 2026 · Updated Apr 21, 2026

Incorrect authorization in NVIDIA KAI Scheduler before 0.13.0 allows remote authenticated users to tamper with data across namespaces. PodGang processing accepts references to pods outside the PodGang namespace instead of enforcing namespace isolation. An account able to submit the relevant Kubernetes resources can manipulate pod associations across tenant namespaces; no confidentiality or availability impact is reported.
