CVE-2026-22772

A flaw was found in Fulcio, a certificate authority for issuing code signing certificates. A remote attacker could exploit this by bypassing MetaIssuer URL validation due to unanchored regular expressions (regex) in the metaRegex() function. This vulnerability could lead to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), allowing the attacker to probe internal network services. While the flaw only permits GET requests, preventing state changes or data exfiltration, it still poses a risk for internal network reconnaissance.

This vulnerability is rated Moderate for Red Hat products. A flaw in Fulcio's URL validation allows attackers to bypass security checks, leading to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). This could enable internal network reconnaissance within affected Red Hat OpenShift and Ansible Automation Platform deployments, though it does not permit state changes or data exfiltration.
