Severity: critical. Patch status: fix status unknown.
Affected: Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Configuration Service
Ids: CVE-2026-83938

Missing authentication for critical function in Azure Kubernetes Configuration Service allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.

## Steps
1. Check Dockerfiles, compose files and Kubernetes or Helm manifests for affected images and tags. Report the tag in use and the first fixed tag.
2. This incident involves a provider (azure). Search config, CI and env templates (.env.example, wrangler.toml, vercel.json, terraform, workflow secrets) for credentials stored there. List each secret by name, where it is used, and how to rotate it. Never print secret values.
3. No source names a fix yet; check the vendor advisory. Until one ships: restrict network access to it.

## Report
A table: file, product or package, version in use, affected yes/no, exact fix. Then anything a human has to check outside the repo.
