CVE-2026-96615 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Description NGINX Gateway Fabric has a vulnerability when it is configured with Gateway Custom Resource Definition (CRD) and have an authenticated gRPC connection with NGINX Agent. A namespaced authenticated attacker with access to a service account may impersonate the authenticated NGINX Agent gRPC connection to read TLS private keys of Gateway deployments in another namespace.  Impact A remote authenticated attacker may be able to read TLS private keys of Gateway deployments in another namespace.  There is no data plane exposure; this is a control plane issue only. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.. EPSS estimates a 0.26% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
