CVE-2024-7646 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. A security issue was discovered in ingress-nginx where an actor with permission to create Ingress objects (in the `networking.k8s.io` or `extensions` API group) can bypass annotation validation to inject arbitrary commands and obtain the credentials of the ingress-nginx controller. In the default configuration, that credential has access to all secrets in the cluster.. EPSS estimates a 26.01% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
