# CVE-2026-32604: Spinnaker: RCE when using gitrepo artifact types due to improper sanitization of user input on branch and paths

**Signal:** Critical, preconditions apply. Severe if exploited, but exploitation needs conditions that may not apply to you. (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 0.8% , percentile 55: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.8% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 55% of all scored CVEs (moderate). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs an account (low (any account)). Exposure depends on who can log in.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes io.spinnaker.clouddriver:clouddriver-artifacts-gitrepo (Maven) < 2026.0.1, fixed in 2026.0.1 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

Spinnaker is an open source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform. In versions prior to 2026.1.0, 2026.0.1, 2025.4.2, and 2025.3.2, a bad actor can execute arbitrary commands very simply on the clouddriver pods. This can expose credentials, remove files, or inject resources easily. Versions 2026.1.0, 2026.0.1, 2025.4.2, and 2025.3.2 contain a patch. As a workaround, disable the gitrepo artifact types.

## Affected packages

- Maven `io.spinnaker.clouddriver:clouddriver-artifacts-gitrepo` < 2026.0.1 → fixed: 2026.0.1

## Affected products (CVE record)

- spinnaker spinnaker: < 2026.0.1, < 2025.4.2, < 2025.3.2, < 2026.1.0

## Severity

- GitHub_M CVSS 3.1: 10 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`
- GitHub CVSS 3.1: 9.9 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable no , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 0.77% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 55.
