High CVSS 7.7

CVE-2026-71567

NVD analysis in progress

In openshift-metal3/fakefish there is a repeated pattern in some of the scripts where shell variables are injected without quoting them either into command lines or into manifests. This mostly applies to the Image URL and BMC credentials (which are not verified by FakeFish).

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can modify or destroy data. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
Weakness
Unfiltered input reaches the system shell, letting the attacker run their own commands on the server.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle.

Read automatically from the CVSS vector, the weakness type (CWE) and the EPSS score. The technical description above remains the one published by NIST.
