Node escape via unchecked Function PodSpec merge
Published Jun 10, 2026 · Updated Jun 10, 2026
Privilege escalation in Fission before 1.24.0 allows remote authenticated users to escape a Kubernetes node through a crafted Function. FunctionSpec.Validate accepts Function.spec.podspec without inspecting dangerous fields, while MergePodSpec forwards host namespaces, hostPath volumes, service accounts, and privileged container settings into an executor-created Deployment. Creating Function resources is sufficient to obtain host filesystem and namespace access through the resulting pod.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
