Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes where a malicious or compromised pod could bypass network restrictions enforced by network policies during namespace deletion. The order in which objects are deleted during namespace termination is not defined, and it is possible for network policies to be deleted before the pods that they protect. This can lead to a brief period in which the pods are running, but network policies that should apply to connections to and from the pods are not enforced.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-7598

Advisory: Kubernetes kube-apiserver Vulnerable to Race Condition
IDs: CVE-2024-7598, GHSA-r56h-j38w-hrqq
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-7598 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:09 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Low (CVSS 3.1)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kube-apiserver: affected >= 1.3.0, <= 1.32.3

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kube-apiserver: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kube-apiserver.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-r56h-j38w-hrqq (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-r56h-j38w-hrqq lists affected ranges: Go k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kube-apiserver >=1.3.0 <=1.32.3)

Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
