CVE-2026-18621
Data-sciences-pipeline: dsp: v1 argo template path accepts arbitrary workflow spec, bypassing all v2 security hardening
Description
A flaw was found in Data Science Pipelines (DSP). An attacker with namespace editor privileges can bypass security hardening by submitting a malicious Argo Workflow through the V1 API path. This allows the API server to create pods with elevated privileges, acting as a 'confused deputy' on behalf of the attacker. Successful exploitation grants the attacker node-root access, enabling arbitrary code execution and full control over the underlying node.
