Container Escape RCE in Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service
CVE-2026-32193 is a path traversal vulnerability in Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Microsoft describes it as an improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory that allows an authorized attacker to execute code locally. Supporting context indicates the flaw can be exploited from an untrusted container to send specially crafted requests to a host-level service that was not intended to be exposed for unauthenticated access. In the described attack path, the vulnerability enables a container escape from the workload context to the underlying AKS worker node.
