CVE-2026-27111 is an authorization bypass vulnerability affecting Kargo versions 1.9.0 to 1.9.2, where specific REST API endpoints fail to enforce the intended "promote" verb. This allows users with standard Kubernetes RBAC permissions to trigger promotions, bypassing fine-grained access controls. Rated Medium (CVSS 5.0), the vulnerability has a network attack vector, low attack complexity, and could lead to unauthorized modification of promotion pipelines. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, though it has received limited media coverage.
