CVE-2026-54680

Logging operator has Fluentd configuration injection that allows remote code execution

Published Jul 29, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 9.9 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Logging operator automates the deployment and configuration of Kubernetes logging pipelines. Prior to 6.6.0, the Fluentd configuration renderer FluentRender in pkg/sdk/logging/model/render/fluent.go writes CRD strings such as Flow record_transformer.records values directly into fluent.conf without escaping, allowing a user who can create Flow resources to inject a Fluentd <match **> block using @type exec and execute arbitrary commands inside the Fluentd aggregator. This issue is fixed in version 6.6.0.
