Risk Analysis

This critical vulnerability in CloudPirates Open Source Helm Charts allows attackers to execute arbitrary code from fork pull requests in a privileged context, exposing repository secrets. With a CVSS score of 10.0, this flaw presents an extreme risk of compromise. There is no EPSS score to indicate exploitation likelihood, and it is not in CISA's KEV catalog.

No public exploit is known for this vulnerability. The issue is remotely exploitable due to the network attack vector and low attack complexity.

Recommended Action

Apply the patch associated with commit fcf9302 to prevent the execution of attacker-controlled code from fork pull requests in a privileged context. Implement strict controls for pull requests from forks, especially regarding access to repository secrets.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-45131 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), with a CVSS base score of 10.0.

The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
