# Kubeflow Pipelines: authenticated users can read other tenants' ML artifacts

Kubeflow Pipelines versions from 0.5.1 through 2.16.x do not check namespace authorization on frontend artifact routes. A signed-in user who knows an artifact location can read datasets, models or pipeline outputs belonging to another tenant.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the deployed Kubeflow Pipelines version; `unknown` for the exact command, the sources do not say
- Confirm whether the deployment is multi-user and relies on Kubeflow Pipelines authorization for tenant isolation

## Fix

- Kubeflow Pipelines: move to `2.17.0`

## Timeline

- 2026-10-29T17:26:17+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-118760

## From the sources

Kubeflow Pipelines enables users to build and deploy portable, scalable machine learning workflows. From 0.5.1 until 2.17.0, the frontend artifact routes did not check whether an authenticated user was authorized to access the requested namespace. A user who can reach the frontend and knows an artifact location can select another tenant's namespace, or omit the namespace and reach an unguarded direct handler, to read artifact contents such as datasets, models, or pipeline outputs. The issue applies to multi-user deployments that rely on Kubeflow Pipelines authorization for tenant isolation. Authentication at ingress identifies the caller but does not authorize access to the selected artifact namespace. The issue does not establish arbitrary Kubernetes Secret disclosure, storage modification, or server-side code execution. This issue is fixed in version 2.17.0.
