Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for etcd.

CVE-2026-33413[0]:
| etcd is a distributed key-value store for the data of a distributed
| system. Prior to versions 3.4.42, 3.5.28, and 3.6.9, unauthorized
| users may bypass authentication or authorization checks and call
| certain etcd functions in clusters that expose the gRPC API to
| untrusted or partially trusted clients. In unpatched etcd clusters
| with etcd auth enabled, unauthorized users are able to call MemberList
| and learn cluster topology, including member IDs and advertised
| endpoints; call Alarm, which can be abused for operational disruption
| or denial of service; use Lease APIs, interfering with TTL-based keys
| and lease ownership; and/or trigger compaction, permanently removing
| historical revisions and disrupting watch, audit, and recovery
| workflows. Kubernetes does not rely on etcd’s built-in
| authentication and authorization. Instead, the API server handles
| authentication and authorization itself, so typical Kubernetes
| deployments are not affected. Versions 3.4.42, 3.5.28, and 3.6.9
| contain a patch. If upgrading is not immediately possible, reduce
| exposure by treating the affected RPCs as unauthenticated in practice.
| Restrict network access to etcd server ports so only trusted
| components can connect and/or require strong client identity at the
| transport layer, such as mTLS with tightly scoped client certificate
| distribution.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
