A flaw was found in Data Science Pipelines (DSP). An attacker with namespace editor privileges can bypass security hardening by submitting a malicious Argo Workflow through the V1 API path.

Successful exploitation grants the attacker node-root access, enabling arbitrary code execution and full control over the underlying node.
