Path Traversal in the kustomize-controller via a malicious `kustomization.yaml` allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service at the controller level. Workarounds include automated tooling in the user's CI/CD pipeline to validate `kustomization.yaml` files conform with specific policies. This vulnerability is fixed in kustomize-controller v0.24.0 and included in flux2 v0.29.0. Users are recommended to upgrade.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":6.5},"cwes":["CWE-22"],"references":["https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2/security/advisories/GHSA-7pwf-jg34-hxwp","https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2/security/advisories/GHSA-7pwf-jg34-hxwp"],"products":["fluxcd:flux2","fluxcd:kustomize-controller"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:31:59.322382750+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-24878","score":0.01018,"percentile":0.63354,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-7pwf-jg34-hxwp","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-7pwf-jg34-hxwp","summary":"Improper path handling in Kustomization files allows for denial of service","modified":"2025-12-02T18:27:27.998780Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/fluxcd/kustomize-controller","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/fluxcd/kustomize-controller","ranges":[">=0.16.0 <0.24.0"],"fixed":["0.24.0"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/fluxcd/flux2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/fluxcd/flux2","ranges":[">=0.19.0 <0.29.0"],"fixed":["0.29.0"]}]},{"id":"GO-2022-0448","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2022-0448","summary":"Improper path handling in Kustomization files allows for denial of service in github.com/fluxcd/flux2","modified":"2026-03-03T04:50:20.907360Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/fluxcd/flux2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/fluxcd/flux2","ranges":[">=0.19.0 <0.29.0"],"fixed":["0.29.0"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/fluxcd/kustomize-controller","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/fluxcd/kustomize-controller","ranges":[">=0.16.0 <0.24.0"],"fixed":["0.24.0"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
