# CVE-2026-125637: Konflux-ci: unvalidated hostname fields enable caddyfile config injection in the konflux ui proxy generator, allowing an unauthenticated…

Affects konflux-ci up to and including 0.2.2 for anyone with write access to the KonfluxUI custom resource hostname fields. No vendor rating or fixed version is listed in the checked facts.

- Also known as: EUVD-2026-124059
- Severity: CVSS 7.2 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Exposure: Specific setups only
- Attention: Reference. No open trigger. (last checked 2026-11-11)
- Published: 2026-11-11 · Updated: 2026-11-11

CVE-2026-125637 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 7.2 (high) and affects konflux-ci; no fixed version is listed yet.

## Summary

Konflux-ci's UI proxy inserts hostname values from the KonfluxUI custom resource into its configuration files without adequate validation. An attacker over the network who already has permission to modify that resource can inject configuration directives to bypass authentication and authorization and reach internal backend services, or send malformed input that stops the proxy from starting, causing denial of service.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Who should check

Teams running konflux-ci (Konflux UI proxy) where admins or GitOps pipelines can modify KonfluxUI custom resource hostname fields.

Source: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2569294 ("Reproduced against konflux-ci/konflux-ci, main branch, v0.2.2")

## Affected

- konflux-ci: through 0.2.2

## Description

A flaw was found in the Konflux UI proxy. Hostname values defined in the KonfluxUI custom resource are inserted directly into proxy configuration files without adequate validation or sanitization. An authenticated user with permissions to modify the custom resource can inject malicious configuration directives to bypass authentication and authorization controls, potentially exposing internal backend services. In addition, providing malformed input can cause the configuration generator to fail, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) by preventing the proxy from starting.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on konflux-ci, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, run the stack.check operation (execute) on the cve.now MCP server (https://mcp.cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-125637 (Konflux-ci: unvalidated hostname fields enable caddyfile config injection in the konflux ui proxy generator, allowing an unauthenticated…), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-125637 (entry last updated 2026-11-11):
Affected:
- konflux-ci: through 0.2.2
Fixed versions: none listed yet.
Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit):
- Write access to the KonfluxUI custom resource hostname fields (spec hostname values for tektonResults, kite, kubeArchive, watson). (source: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2569294)
- Affected code is the konflux-ci UI proxy config generator at main branch and v0.2.2. (source: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2569294)
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
Attacker needs: network access, high-privilege login, no user action.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-125637 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-125637 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2569294
- https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-125637
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.

## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-125637 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.

Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-125637

### What does this mean?

The proxy config generator does not validate hostname fields in the KonfluxUI custom resource, so injected text can alter the generated Caddyfile. This can bypass the proxy's authentication and impersonation checks, giving unauthenticated access to internal backend services and the Kubernetes API. A malformed hostname can also stop the proxy from starting.

### Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-125637?

konflux-ci: through 0.2.2.

Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-125637

### Am I affected, and how do I check?

The checked facts list konflux-ci versions from 0 through 0.2.2, and the issue was reproduced on the main branch and v0.2.2. Check the installed konflux-ci version and who holds write access to the KonfluxUI custom resource's hostname fields (tektonResults, kite, kubeArchive, watson).

Source: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2569294, https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2026-125637

### How do I fix CVE-2026-125637?

The checked facts do not name a fixed release, so no upgrade target can be given from them. Check the konflux-ci advisory for a patched version.

Source: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2569294, https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2026-125637

### What if there's no patch?

Limit write access to the KonfluxUI custom resource hostname fields, since the issue requires that access. The checked facts give no other workaround.
