The rotation handler derives the\nsealing scope for the newly encrypted output from untrusted\nspec.template.metadata.annotations present in the input SealedSecret.\nBy submitting a victim SealedSecret to the rotate endpoint with the\nannotation sealedsecrets.bitnami.com/cluster-wide=true injected into the\ntemplate metadata, a remote attacker can obtain a rotated version of the\nsecret that is cluster-wide. This bypasses original \"strict\" or\n\"namespace-wide\" constraints, allowing the attacker to retarget and unseal\nthe secret in any namespace or under any name to recover the plaintext\ncredentials.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":4.9},"cwes":["CWE-284"],"references":["https://github.com/bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets/security/advisories/GHSA-465p-v42x-3fmj"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:24:17.937441719+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-22728","score":0.00408,"percentile":0.35133,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-465p-v42x-3fmj","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-465p-v42x-3fmj","summary":"Sealed Secrets for Kubernetes: Rotate API Allows Scope Widening from Strict/Namespace-Wide to Cluster-Wide via Untrusted Template Annotations","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:34.020538821Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets","ranges":["<0.36.0"],"fixed":["0.36.0"]}]},{"id":"GO-2026-4565","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2026-4565","summary":"Sealed Secrets for Kubernetes: Rotate API Allows Scope Widening from Strict/Namespace-Wide to Cluster-Wide via Untrusted Template Annotations in github.com/bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets","modified":"2026-03-23T05:11:29.088441577Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets","ranges":["<0.36.0"],"fixed":["0.36.0"]}]}],"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).
