CVE-2025-24513 is a path traversal vulnerability in the ingress-nginx controller's Admission Controller feature. Attacker-controlled input can be incorporated into a filename used by the admission component, allowing directory traversal within the container filesystem. The flaw affects the handling of attacker-provided data during admission processing and can be triggered through crafted ingress-related input processed by the validating admission path. The immediate security consequence is filesystem access outside the intended directory scope inside the container, which can destabilize the controller and, in combination with related ingress-nginx flaws, contribute to disclosure of Kubernetes Secret data accessible to the ingress-nginx component.
