CVE-2026-86330 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.2 · Published 2026-09-28

NooBaa is a multi-cloud object storage gateway used in OpenShift Data Foundation to manage data across cloud environments. An authenticated administrator can inject shell commands through the hostname parameter to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the NooBaa process, potentially compromising the entire storage system and accessing sensitive data.

Technologies: [Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation](https://junglewise.ai/threats/technologies/openshift-data-foundation-4). Vendors: [Red Hat](https://junglewise.ai/threats/vendors/red-hat).

## Technical details

The set_hostname_internal function in cluster_internal_api passes the hostname parameter directly to a shell command without sanitization, allowing OS command injection (CWE-78). An authenticated attacker with administrative privileges can craft a malicious hostname containing shell metacharacters to execute arbitrary commands on the host system. The attack requires network access and high privileges, but results in full command execution capability under the NooBaa process context.
