CVE-2026-75888: OpenShift console SSRF in Helm chart URL validation

CVE-2026-75888 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.7 · Published 2026-10-12

The OpenShift console, a web interface for managing container clusters, contains a flaw that allows authenticated users to make arbitrary network requests from the console's internal pod. An attacker with valid console credentials can supply a specially crafted Helm chart URL to bypass network validation, enabling port scanning of internal cluster services or extracting sensitive data from error messages.

Technologies: Red Hat OpenShift. Vendors: Red Hat.

Technical details

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in the OpenShift console's Helm chart URL handling due to insufficient validation. An authenticated user can exploit this by providing a crafted URL that causes the console pod to fetch arbitrary endpoints, including internal cluster services. The vulnerability requires valid console credentials and network access to the console, but allows the attacker to bypass network boundaries and probe internal infrastructure.
