OSSA-2026-028: Credential extraction from Ironic Python Agent via malicious 
container
=====================================================================================

:Date: July 23, 2026
:CVE: CVE-2026-54422


Affects
~~~~~~~
- Ironic-python-agent: >=10.2.0 <10.2.3, >=11.0.0 <11.2.1, >=11.3.0 <11.5.1


Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
Yuliang Xiao reported a vulnerability in Ironic Python Agent's bootc
container deployment support. A malicious container can extract the
secrets used to fetch from the OCI registry on deployment.

Operators can fix this issue by applying the provided patches or completely
disabling the bootc deploy_interface on their Ironic conductors.

Any Ironic user with the ability to deploy arbitrary containers from the
bootc deploy_interface can exploit this.
