Overview

CVE-2026-27208 is a critical-severity vulnerability. It was published on February 24, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.2 (CRITICAL).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.2, rated CRITICAL. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

bleon-ethical/api-gateway-deploy provides API gateway deployment. Version 1.0.0 is vulnerable to an attack chain involving OS Command Injection and Privilege Escalation. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges within the container, potentially leading to a container escape and unauthorized infrastructure modifications. This is fixed in version 1.0.1 by implementing strict input sanitization and secure delimiters in entrypoint.sh, enforcing a non-root user (appuser) in the Dockerfile, and establishing mandatory security quality gates.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
