# CVE-2024-36533: Volcano has insecure permissions

**Signal:** Critical and remotely reachable. No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 0.5% , percentile 40: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.5% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 40% of all scored CVEs (low). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes github.com/volcano-sh/volcano (Go) < 1.10.0-alpha.0, fixed in 1.10.0-alpha.0 ; volcano.sh/volcano (Go) < 1.10.0-alpha.0, fixed in 1.10.0-alpha.0 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
