NeuVector through 5.4.9 is can potentially leak information from manager /network/graph API due to missing authentication and cached data containing sensitive information.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated access to NeuVector's manager /network/graph API exposes cached network topology data in all versions through 5.4.9, allowing any network-reachable attacker to retrieve sensitive container environment details without credentials. The missing authentication on this endpoint (CWE-202) means the container security platform itself becomes a reconnaissance source, potentially revealing Kubernetes service relationships, container names, and network flow data to adversaries. No public exploit code or active exploitation (KEV) has been identified at time of analysis, but the unauthenticated network vector significantly lowers the bar for exploitation.
Technical ContextAI
NeuVector is a SUSE-maintained open-source container security platform that provides runtime protection, network visibility, and compliance enforcement for Kubernetes environments. Its manager component exposes a REST API and web UI for security operations. The /network/graph endpoint generates and caches network topology graphs depicting inter-container and inter-service communication flows - data that is inherently sensitive in a security product context. CWE-202 (Exposure of Sensitive Information Through Data Queries) identifies the root cause: the API endpoint lacks authentication middleware, so cached topology data - which may include container names, service endpoints, namespace mappings, and IP addressing - is returned to any client that issues a request. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms this is a direct network-accessible flaw with no preconditions or user interaction.
RemediationAI
Consult the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-hx45-873x-74qv at https://github.com/neuvector/manager/security/advisories/GHSA-hx45-873x-74qv for the patched release version and upgrade the NeuVector manager beyond 5.4.9 as the primary fix - the exact patched version is not independently confirmed from the data available and must be verified there. As an immediate compensating control, restrict network access to the NeuVector manager API using Kubernetes NetworkPolicy or external firewall rules to allow only authorized management hosts and SIEM/monitoring systems, which eliminates external unauthenticated reach without disabling the service; note this reduces exposure but does not fix the missing authentication. If the manager API is not required to be accessible from broad internal segments, placing it behind a VPN or zero-trust access gateway adds a meaningful authentication layer upstream. Do not treat network restriction as equivalent to patching, as internal attackers or compromised workloads would still be able to reach the endpoint.
