{"id":"CVE-2026-59269","summary":"Privilege Escalation via Active Directory LDAP injection in Pinniped Supervisor can be executed by an attacker who can edit LDAP Group DN entries","details":"A user authenticating to Kubernetes clusters via the Pinniped Supervisor could potentially gain elevated permissions in the clusters, only if all the following conditions were true: the Pinniped Supervisor server is running with an ActiveDirectoryIdentityProvider resource configured; the ActiveDirectoryIdentityProvider.spec.groupSearch.attributes.groupName is empty; the attacker gains the ability to edit some part of the distinguished name (DN) of group entries in the Active Directory (AD) server's database for groups to which they belong; the configured group search parameters cause the edited group to be included in the group search results for the user; and the attacker knows the password for an AD user who belongs to the edited AD group.\nAffected versions: Pinniped (go.pinniped.dev) v0.11.0 through v0.46.0 inclusive; fixed in v0.47.0.","aliases":["GHSA-7xq8-m6h6-2xg8"],"modified":"2026-07-15T01:49:07.613752160Z","published":"2026-07-09T07:12:10.791Z","database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/59xxx/CVE-2026-59269.json","cna_assigner":"vmware"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/59xxx/CVE-2026-59269.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/vmware/pinniped/security/advisories/GHSA-7xq8-m6h6-2xg8"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-59269"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/vmware/pinniped","events":[{"introduced":"b19af2e135cd4842f724c728a482d671046804aa"},{"fixed":"2250917182346c7032baa8030aae3e61ea2135b9"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0.11.0"},{"last_affected":"0.46.0"},{"introduced":"v0.11.0"},{"fixed":"v0.46.0"}],"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","DESCRIPTION"]}}],"versions":["v0.45.0","v0.44.0","v0.43.0","v0.42.0","v0.41.0","v0.40.0","v0.39.0","v0.38.0","v0.37.0","v0.36.0","v0.35.0","v0.34.0","v0.33.0","v0.32.0","v0.31.0","v0.30.0","v0.29.0","v0.28.0","v0.27.0","v0.26.0","v0.25.0","v0.24.0","v0.23.0","v0.22.0","v0.21.0","v0.20.0","v0.19.0","v0.18.0","v0.17.0","v0.16.0","v0.15.0","v0.14.0","v0.12.0","v0.13.0","v0.11.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-59269.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N"}]}
