    Title
    Kubevirt: kubevirt virt-handler: privilege escalation and node compromise via symlink following vulnerability
    Summary
    A flaw was found in KubeVirt's virt-handler component. This vulnerability allows an authenticated OpenShift user with edit permissions in a single namespace to exploit improper symlink validation when connecting to virtual machine console sockets. By replacing the console socket with a symlink to the host's container runtime (CRI-O) socket, an attacker can hijack virt-handler's privileged connection. This enables the attacker to access any Unix socket on the host, potentially leading to full control of the node and the entire cluster.

    CVE-2026-7374 (GCVE-0-2026-7374)

    Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-05-26 13:14 – Updated: 2026-06-15 18:55
    VLAI
    Title
    Kubevirt: kubevirt virt-handler: privilege escalation and node compromise via symlink following vulnerability
    Summary
    A flaw was found in KubeVirt's virt-handler component. This vulnerability allows an authenticated OpenShift user with edit permissions in a single namespace to exploit improper symlink validation when connecting to virtual machine console sockets. By replacing the console socket with a symlink to the host's container runtime (CRI-O) socket, an attacker can hijack virt-handler's privileged connection. This enables the attacker to access any Unix socket on the host, potentially leading to full control of the node and the entire cluster.

This vulnerability allows an authenticated OpenShift user with edit permissions in a single namespace to exploit improper symlink validation when connecting to virtual machine console sockets. By replacing the console socket with a symlink to the host\u0027s container runtime (CRI-O) socket, an attacker can hijack virt-handler\u0027s privileged connection. This enables the attacker to access any Unix socket on the host, potentially leading to full control of the node and the entire cluster."
