New research by Pentera builds on Wiz’s IngressNightmare and reveals critical injection vulnerabilities in the widely used ingress-nginx Kubernetes controller.

Pentera’s team uncovered additional attack vectors that exploit common configuration oversights - going beyond the four originally disclosed CVEs. These newly discovered injection points can allow attackers to bypass security controls, execute arbitrary code, and pivot deeper into Kubernetes clusters.
