PatchTheCVECVE-2026-73263: Prowler is a cloud security platform
CVE-2026-73263 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.9) affecting affected software. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
Prowler is a cloud security platform. Prior to 5.36.0, the Kubernetes provider connection test accepted kubeconfig_content containing a legacy gcp auth-provider with config.cmd-path and config.cmd-args because kubeconfig_contains_exec_auth in api/src/backend/api/v1/serializers.py checked only exec blocks, and POST /api/v1/providers/{id}/connection loaded it through config.load_kube_config_from_dict in prowler/providers/kubernetes/kubernetes_provi
Why this priority
