KubeVela Terraform remote loader DoS via unbounded file read

CVE-2026-55108GHSA-fmgp-q6jx-gg3x

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (github.com/oam-dev/kubevela 1.11.0-alpha.4, 1.10.9, 1.9.14), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Summary KubeVela's Terraform remote configuration loader can be abused to make vela-core read an unbounded byte stream into memory, causing an out-of-memory kill and a control-plane denial of service. The issue is reachable when a user with permission to create or update a core.oam.dev/v1beta1 ComponentDefinition registers a Terraform remote schematic that points to a malicious or compromised git repository. The repository can contain a variables.tf symlink that resolves to /dev/zero after checkout. vela-core follows the symlink and calls os.ReadFile before HCL parsing, so memory grows until the controller is OOM killed. Details The affected code is in pkg/controller/utils/capability.go, inside GetTerraformConfigurationFromRemote: https://github.com/kubevela/kubevela/blob/a24d3a9c6/pkg/controller/utils/capability.go#L231-L242 When a ComponentDefinition uses: the controller clones the user-supplied git repository and then reads variables.tf or main.tf from the checkout. The read path…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-55108

Advisory: KubeVela Terraform remote loader DoS via unbounded file read
IDs: CVE-2026-55108, GHSA-fmgp-q6jx-gg3x
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-55108 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:28 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: github.com/oam-dev/kubevela 1.11.0-alpha.4, 1.10.9, 1.9.14. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go github.com/oam-dev/kubevela: affected < 1.9.14; >= 1.10.0-alpha.1, < 1.10.9; >= 1.11.0-alpha.1, < 1.11.0-alpha.4; fixed in 1.11.0-alpha.4, 1.10.9, 1.9.14

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go github.com/oam-dev/kubevela: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on github.com/oam-dev/kubevela.
- 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.
