Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A security issue was discovered in the Feast Feature Server's /read-document endpoint that allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to read any file accessible to the server process. By sending a specially crafted HTTP POST request, an attacker can bypass intended access restrictions to potentially retrieve sensitive system files, application configurations, and credentials.
AnalysisAI
The Feast Feature Server contains a path traversal vulnerability in its /read-document endpoint that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files accessible to the server process, including sensitive system files, application configurations, and credentials. Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI) deployments are confirmed affected across multiple versions. The vulnerability is rated 7.5 (High) with network-based exploitation requiring no authentication or user interaction, though no active exploitation (KEV) or public proof-of-concept is currently documented.
Technical ContextAI
Feast is an open-source feature store for machine learning that manages and serves features to ML models. The vulnerability affects Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI) implementations as evidenced by multiple CPE entries (cpe:2.3:a:red_hat:red_hat_openshift_ai_(rhoai)). The root cause is CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory), commonly known as path traversal or directory traversal. The /read-document endpoint fails to properly validate or sanitize user-supplied file paths in HTTP POST requests, allowing attackers to use techniques such as '../' sequences to escape intended directory restrictions and access files anywhere on the filesystem that the server process has read permissions for.
RemediationAI
Organizations running affected versions of Red Hat OpenShift AI should immediately consult the official Red Hat security advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-23536 and apply available patches or updates as specified by the vendor. Review the Red Hat Bugzilla entry at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2429302 for technical remediation details and patched versions. As an immediate temporary mitigation until patching is complete, restrict network access to the Feast Feature Server's /read-document endpoint using firewall rules, web application firewall (WAF) policies, or API gateway controls to allow only authenticated and authorized internal services. Implement network segmentation to isolate ML infrastructure from untrusted networks, deploy monitoring to detect suspicious file access patterns or path traversal attempts in HTTP POST requests, and conduct an audit of files potentially accessed by the server process to identify any credential or configuration files that may have been exposed.
