CVE-2026-49823
### Summary A Fission Function spec carries three reference types — Secret, ConfigMap, and Package. The first two were namespace-validated by the admission webhook; `PackageRef.Namespace` was not. ### Details A tenant with `functions.fission.io/create` in their own namespace could set `spec.package.packageref.namespace` to any other namespace. When the function is invoked, the fetcher sidecar reads the victim Package using the `fission-fetcher` service account's namespace-wide `get packages` permission and writes its contents to `/userfunc/deployarchive` inside the attacker's pool pod, exposing the victim's source code and any embedded credentials. The `fission-fetcher` SA holds `get packages` in every configured function namespace (granted by `charts/fission-all/templates/_function-access-role.tpl`), so the namespace check was the only barrier between the attacker and any in-cluster Fission Package. ### Impact A function author in one namespace could read the deployment archive — and therefore the source code and embedded secrets — of any Package in any other namespace. ### Fix Fixed in [#3389](https://github.com/fission/fission/pull/3389) and released in [v1.24.0](https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/tag/v1.24.0). The admission webhook (`pkg/webhook/function.go::Validate`) rejects `Function.spec.package.packageref.namespace != metadata.namespace`. An empty namespace remains accepted (controllers default it to the function's namespace). This shipped together with the EnvironmentRef cross-namespace check (GHSA-cvw6-gfvv-953q). ### Behavioural change Functions that explicitly set `spec.package.packageref.namespace` to a different namespace are now rejected at admission.
