A principal that holds read (but not use) permission on an instance\ngroup -- for example the built-in read-only System Auditor role -- together\nwith execute permission on a job template can launch bulk jobs onto instance\ngroups they are not authorized to use, bypassing execution-placement\nisolation.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:L","score":6.4},"cwes":["CWE-862"],"references":["https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71113","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71114","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71177","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71179","https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-84470"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:50:50.842544443+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-84470","score":0.003,"percentile":0.22761,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"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).
