CVE-2026-44795
Spinnaker: Non-safe yaml deserialization allowing RCE when using specific types
Spinnaker is an open source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform. Prior to 2026.1.0, 2026.0.3, 2025.4.4, and 2025.3.3, unsafe YAML processing bypasses safe deserialization when using CloudFormation deployments or CloudFoundry baking. The use of a non-safe constructor allows arbitrary loading of Java classes, leading to remote code execution. This issue is fixed in versions 2026.1.0, 2026.0.3, 2025.4.4, and 2025.3.3.

8.5
Spinnaker has non-safe yaml deserialization, allowing RCE when using specific types
Impact
There's an unsafe YAML processing vulnerability that bypasses safe deserialization. This impacts users when when performing:
- CloudFormation deployments
- CloudFoundry Baking
The usage of a non-safe constructor use allows arbitrary loading of Java classes leading to RCE.
Patches
2025.3.3, 2026.0.3 and 2025.4.4.
Workarounds
Disable the CloudFormation system and cloudfoundry baking operations.
