Riskiest combinations
Workloads whose ServiceAccount has Critical or High RBAC risk and whose image carries known-exploited (CISA KEV) or likely-exploitable CVEs.
- LikelyCVE-2025-15467
- LikelyCVE-2025-15467
- LikelyCVE-2025-15467
Image CVEs: Trivy 0.76.1 + cve.now enrichment, as of 2026-11-11. Default chart images only; a CVE in an image is not proof it is exploitable in this workload. Methodology
Description
