The\nexternal logging (rsyslog) configuration is generated by interpolating\nuser-controlled settings — LOG_AGGREGATOR_HOST, LOG_AGGREGATOR_MAX_DISK_USAGE_PATH\nand LOG_AGGREGATOR_RSYSLOGD_ERROR_LOG_FILE — into an rsyslog RainerScript config\nfile without neutralizing RainerScript syntax. A privileged (superuser) user can\ninject rsyslog directives, including an omprog action, causing arbitrary command\nexecution inside the control-plane rsyslog component. This allows disclosure of\nthe controller SECRET_KEY and database credentials, decryption of all stored\ncredentials, and full compromise of the control plane.","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:H/A:H","score":7.2},"cwes":["CWE-96"],"references":["https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71177","https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-85475","https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2528255"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:56:02.509636177+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-85475","score":0.00795,"percentile":0.56146,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
