CVE-2026-53999

Radius Controller May Delete a Container Resource via an Injected Deployment Annotation (Multi-Tenant Installs)

7.7 HighFix available

Radius is a cloud-native, portable application platform that makes app development easier for teams building cloud-native apps. Prior to 0.58.0, the Kubernetes controller deserializes the user-controlled radapp.io/status annotation on a Deployment and uses its container resource identifier for deletion without confirming ownership by that Deployment. An attacker with permission to modify Deployment annotations and knowledge of a target Radius resource ID can forge radapp.io/status and set radapp.io/enabled to false, causing reconciliation to enter the privileged deletion path for another tenant's Radius-managed container resource. In a multi-tenant installation this confused-deputy condition can delete another team's recoverable container resource and disrupt service; in a single-tenant installation the impact is limited to self denial of service. The multi-tenant Radius controller reads the annotations in pkg/controller/reconciler/annotations.go and reaches the privileged delete in pkg/controller/reconciler/deployment_reconciler.go. The issue does not disclose data, grant privileges, or provide persistence. This issue is fixed in version 0.58.0.

Radius Controller May Delete a Container Resource via an Injected Deployment Annotation (Multi-Tenant Installs)

Radius Controller May Delete a Container Resource via an Injected Deployment Annotation (Multi-Tenant Installs)

Summary

A configuration-validation issue in the Radius Kubernetes controller can cause it to issue a DELETE for the container resource referenced by a tampered radapp.io/status annotation on a Deployment. It follows the "Confused Deputy" pattern. Real-world impact is bounded and depends heavily on install topology: in a multi-tenant install (one controller reconciling Deployments across resource groups owned by different teams) it can affect another team's container, while in a single-tenant install it is only self-DoS. There is no data disclosure, no privilege escalation, and no persistence, and deleted resources are recoverable through standard Radius deployment workflows.

  • Vulnerability Type: Configuration Injection / Cross-Tenant Resource Deletion
  • CVSS 3.1 Score: 7.7 (High in worst-case multi-tenant installs; Medium or lower in single-tenant or strict-RBAC installs)
  • CWE Classification: CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation), CWE-441 (Unintended Proxy or Intermediary)
  • Affected Versions: Radius v0.57.1 and earlier versions

Vulnerability Details

Root Cause

The Radius controller deserializes user-controllable JSON data from the radapp.io/status annotation on Kubernetes Deployments without validating whether the resource IDs belong to the current tenant. When the controller performs delete operations, it uses its own high-privilege credentials to send requests to the Radius API, enabling deletion of resources belonging to any tenant.
