Description
Spinnaker is an open source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform. In versions prior to 2026.1.0, 2026.0.1, 2025.4.2, and 2025.3.2, a bad actor can execute arbitrary commands very simply on the clouddriver pods. This can expose credentials, remove files, or inject resources easily. Versions 2026.1.0, 2026.0.1, 2025.4.2, and 2025.3.2 contain a patch. As a workaround, disable the gitrepo artifact types.

Description Summary:
A vulnerability in F5 BIG-IP scripted monitors allows authenticated users with administrative privileges to execute arbitrary system commands with elevated permissions.
Executive Summary:
An authenticated privilege escalation vulnerability in F5 BIG-IP scripted monitors poses a significant risk of unauthorized system command execution.
Vulnerability Details
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-32673
Affected Software: F5 BIG-IP
Affected Versions: 21.0.0 up to 21.0.0.2, 17.5.0 up to 17.5.1.6, 17.1.0 up to 17.1.3.2, 16.1.0 and later
Vulnerability: The flaw relates to improper privilege management (CWE-250) within BIG-IP scripted monitors. An attacker who has already gained authenticated access as a Resource Administrator or Administrator can leverage this flaw to execute arbitrary commands with higher system privileges.
Business Impact
Successful exploitation allows an already-privileged user to gain full control over the underlying operating system of the BIG-IP device. Given the CVSS score of 8.7, this represents a high-severity risk to infrastructure integrity, as it facilitates lateral movement, data exfiltration, or complete system compromise.
Remediation Plan
Immediate Action: Upgrade to version 21.1.0 or later as recommended by the vendor.
Proactive Monitoring: Review administrative audit logs for unusual command execution patterns or unauthorized modifications to monitor scripts.
Compensating Controls: Restrict administrative access to the BIG-IP management interface to known, trusted management subnets and enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Exploitation Status
Public Exploit Available: No (exploit_available: false)
Analyst Notes: As of May 14, 2026, there is no public information indicating active exploitation or a public proof-of-concept for this vulnerability. While the vulnerability requires existing administrative access, the potential for total system compromise makes it an urgent priority.
Analyst Recommendation
The severity of this vulnerability necessitates immediate patching. Organizations should prioritize updating their F5 BIG-IP appliances to the fixed versions provided by the vendor to prevent privileged users from escalating their access to full system control.
