Medium (6.7).
A flaw was found in konflux-ci. This vulnerability allows arbitrary code execution due to improper quoting of shell variables in deployment scripts. A local attacker who can supply arguments to the affected scripts could exploit this issue to trigger unintended command substitution, executing commands with the privileges of the deployment runner.

Explain CVE-2026-116958 for an engineer deciding whether to act. Use https://cve.bz/api/public/cves/CVE-2026-116958?via=ask-ai-copy and https://cve.bz/cve/CVE-2026-116958?via=ask-ai-copy as the source of truth: what is affected and which versions fix it, whether it is in CISA KEV, public exploits, and its EPSS (an internet-wide 30-day estimate of exploitation activity, not a forecast for my systems). If they give no fixed versions, use the CVE record https://cveawg.mitre.org/api/cve/CVE-2026-116958 or the vendor advisory, not third-party mirrors. Tell me how to check whether I am affected and how to verify a fix. Cite the sources and say where they are uncertain.Opens a third-party assistant; its answer is its own, not cve.bz's.

Red Hat
Red Hat rates this Moderate.
This vulnerability is rated Moderate for Red Hat environments because successful exploitation requires local administrative privileges to control arguments in deployment workflows that currently process only static, hardcoded commands. While unquoted expansion in internal deployment utilities could permit arbitrary command execution inside the CI/CD runner environment, standard Konflux CI configurations do not expose these routines to external or untrusted user input. As a result, the flaw cannot be triggered remotely or without existing privileged access to the build infrastructure.
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
