CVE-2026-40564 May 26, 14:38 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Unvalidated jarURI handling in Apache Flink Kubernetes Operator exposes authenticated low-privilege users to server-side request forgery and arbitrary file read primitives against the operator pod. Any Kubernetes principal holding Custom Resource create permissions can submit a malicious FlinkSessionJob CR with a crafted jarURI - pointing to local filesystem paths, internal cloud metadata endpoints, link-local addresses, or any backing store reachable through Flink's pluggable filesystem layer - and retrieve that content via the submitted job. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS sits at 0.01% (3rd percentile), but the confidentiality impact is rated High by NVD given the breadth of accessible internal resources.
