Spinnaker: Non-safe yaml deserialization allowing RCE when using specific types

Spinnaker is an open source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform. Prior to 2026.1.0, 2026.0.3, 2025.4.4, and 2025.3.3, unsafe YAML processing bypasses safe deserialization when using CloudFormation deployments or CloudFoundry baking. The use of a non-safe constructor allows arbitrary loading of Java classes, leading to remote code execution. This issue is fixed in versions 2026.1.0, 2026.0.3, 2025.4.4, and 2025.3.3.

Spinnaker: Improper yaml processing on kustomize bake operations

Spinnaker is an open source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform. Prior to versions 2026.1.1, 2026.0.3, 2025.4.4, and 2025.3.4 on their respective release lines, Kustomize bake operations allow unsafe YAML tag processing in rosco manifests. This can lead to remote code execution on rosco pods when performing Kustomize bakes. This issue is fixed in versions 2026.1.1, 2026.0.3, 2025.4.4, and 2025.3.4.

Spinnaker vulnerable to RCE via expression parsing due to unrestricted context handling

Spinnaker is an open source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform. Echo like some other services, uses SPeL (Spring Expression Language) to process information - specifically around expected artifacts. In versions prior to 2026.1.0, 2026.0.1, 2025.4.2, and 2025.3.2, unlike orca, it was NOT restricting that context to a set of trusted classes, but allowing FULL JVM access. This enabled a user to use arbitrary java classes which allow deep access to the system. This enabled the ability to invoke commands, access files, etc. Versions 2026.1.0, 2026.0.1, 2025.4.2, and 2025.3.2 contain a patch. As a workaround, disable echo entirely.

Spinnaker vulnerable to RCE when using gitrepo artifact types due to improper sanitization of user input on branch and paths

Spinnaker is an open source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform. In versions prior to 2026.1.0, 2026.0.1, 2025.4.2, and 2025.3.2, a bad actor can execute arbitrary commands very simply on the clouddriver pods. This can expose credentials, remove files, or inject resources easily. Versions 2026.1.0, 2026.0.1, 2025.4.2, and 2025.3.2 contain a patch. As a workaround, disable the gitrepo artifact types.

Spinnaker clouddriver and orca URL validation bypass via underscores in hostnames

### Impact Spinnaker updated URL Validation logic on user input to provide sanitation on user inputted URLs for clouddriver. However, they missed that Java URL objects do not correctly handle underscores on parsing. This led to a bypass of the previous CVE (CVE-2025-61916) through the use of carefully crafted URLs. Note, Spinnaker found this not just in that CVE, but in the existing URL validations in Orca fromUrl expression handling. This CVE impacts BOTH artifacts as a result. ### Patches This has been merged and will be available in versions 2025.4.1, 2025.3.1, 2025.2.4 and 2026.0.0. ### Workarounds You can disable the various artifacts on this system to work around these limits.

The Spinnaker template resolution functionality is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), which allows an attacker to send requests on behalf of Spinnaker potentially leading to sensitive data disclosure.
