CVE Severity
Our Official Summary
This critical CVE reported on nginx ingress controller affects both Paltte & Vertex deployments. Workload clusters using nginx-controller versions v1.11.0, v1.11.0 - 1.11.4, v1.12.0 are also vulnerable. Attackers with access to the pod network can use remote code execution to dump confidential information such as secrets in the affected clusters. Ingress controller version should be updated to 1.11.5 or 1.12.1 to fix the vulnerabilities. Palette, VerteX Saas deployments and the managed dedicated Palette deployments are patched.
