Overview

CVE-2026-24513 is a low-severity vulnerability. It was published on February 3, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.1 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.1, rated LOW. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

A security issue was discovered in ingress-nginx where the protection afforded by the `auth-url` Ingress annotation may not be effective in the presence of a specific misconfiguration.

If the ingress-nginx controller is configured with a default custom-errors configuration that includes HTTP errors 401 or 403, and if the configured default custom-errors backend is defective and fails to respect the X-Code HTTP header, then an Ingress with the `auth-url` annotation may be accessed even when authentication fails.

Note that the built-in custom-errors backend works correctly. To trigger this issue requires an administrator to specifically configure ingress-nginx with a broken external component.
