CVE-2026-127077 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 7.1 (high) and affects BuildPiper; fixed in 2.7.0.

## Summary

OpsTree BuildPiper versions before 2.7.0 contain an authorization bypass that lets a logged-in user create environments on Kubernetes clusters assigned to other projects by tampering with request values. An attacker can reach it remotely over the network with low-privilege login, and then run builds and deployments into another project's cluster, breaking project isolation.

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

## Who should check

Teams running OpsTree BuildPiper before 2.7.0 that use Kubernetes clusters shared across projects.

## Affected

- OpsTree Solutions BuildPiper: fixed in 2.7.0

## Description

OpsTree BuildPiper before 2.7.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows authenticated users to create environments on unassigned Kubernetes clusters by tampering with cluster_id and namespaces values. Attackers can modify requests to POST /api/v1/project/{project_id}/env/ to target another project's cluster, then trigger builds and deployments into it, bypassing project isolation.

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-127077 (OpsTree BuildPiper before 2.7.0 Authorization Bypass via Environment Creation API), 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-2026-127077 (entry last updated 2026-11-13):
Affected:
- OpsTree Solutions BuildPiper: fixed in 2.7.0
Fixed versions: 2.7.0.
Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit):
- BuildPiper versions before 2.7.0 (source: https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/opstree-buildpiper-before-2.7.0-authorization-bypass-via-environment-creation-api)
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
Attacker needs: network access, low-privilege login, no user action.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-127077 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-127077 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:

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.
