CVE-2026-56743

A medium-severity vulnerability was found in Cilium, a networking, observability, and security solution. The issue arises from incorrect handling of standard Kubernetes NetworkPolicy specifications using CIDR-based ipBlock rules without pod or namespace selectors when Cilium is configured with a custom clusterName. This results in the erroneous generation of a wildcard namespace allow rule, allowing traff [truncated]

CVE-2026-41520

Cilium's diagnostic utility, cilium-bugtool, inadvertently captures sensitive cryptographic material when WireGuard encryption is active. The tool is designed to collect system state for troubleshooting, but prior to the patched versions, it failed to redact WireGuard private keys from its output. Because bugtool archives are frequently shared with vendors or posted to public issue trackers, this creates [truncated]
