CVE-2026-86330
HIGH 7.2An OS command injection flaw was found in the set_hostname_internal function of NooBaa's cluster_internal_api. This component is responsible for managing the Multi-Cloud Object Gateway in OpenShift Data Foundation. The vulnerability occurs because the hostname parameter is passed directly to a shell command without proper sanitization. An authenticated attacker with administrative privileges can provide a specially crafted hostname containing shell metacharacters to execute arbitrary commands on the host system with the privileges of the NooBaa process.
Severe if exploited (CVSS 7.2), but no known exploitation and low modeled probability. Patch on a normal cadence.
