# CVE-2026-116964: Konflux-ci: remote code execution via eval() in manifest scripts

Status: published. Published: 2026-10-31. Updated: 2026-11-02.

A flaw was found in konflux-ci. An attacker with repository write access can achieve arbitrary code execution within the Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) workflow environment. By injecting shell commands into environment export scripts, the attacker causes manifest synchronization scripts to dynamically evaluate unvalidated script output. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to compromise CI/CD pipelines, steal sensitive authentication tokens and deployment credentials, and gain unauthorized access to production systems.

## Remediation

- workaround: Currently, the only mitigation in place is user review of malicious PRs/MRs. If a malicious commit is approved after minimal review, the attack is successful.

Beyond that, mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability. (source: CNA: redhat)
