CVE-2026-75887
Description
A flaw was found in the OpenShift console. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit a path traversal vulnerability by manipulating the lng and ns query parameters in the /locales/resource.json endpoint. This allows the attacker to read sensitive *.json files from the pod filesystem, including plugin manifests and configuration files. Furthermore, this flaw can enable path traversal against registered dynamic-plugin backends.
Statement
This vulnerability in the OpenShift console's i18n locale handler is rated Important. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit a path traversal flaw in the /locales/resource.json endpoint to read arbitrary .json files from the pod filesystem, including sensitive configuration or plugin manifests. This could also enable path traversal against registered dynamic-plugin backends, increasing the potential for information disclosure in a default OpenShift Container Platform deployment.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
