CVE-2026-73841Network attack vector

Cross-project command execution via caller-controlled project scope

Published Aug 13, 2026 · Updated Aug 13, 2026

Incorrect authorization in OpenChoreo 1.2.0-rc.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands and read cross-project wirelogs. The exec and wirelogs handlers authorize component:exec and wirelogs:view against a caller-supplied project query value instead of the target component's comp.Spec.Owner.ProjectName. A project-scoped grant reaches any component in the same namespace, permitting pod command execution and wirelog reads but no cross-namespace access.
