Advanced Cluster Management For Kubernetes

A container privilege escalation flaw was found in certain Multicluster Engine for Kubernetes images. This issue stems from the /etc/passwd file being created with group-writable permissions during build time. In certain conditions, an attacker who can execute commands within an affected container, even as a non-root user, can leverage their membership in the root group to modify the /etc/passwd file. This could allow the attacker to add a new user with any arbitrary UID, including UID 0, leading to full root privileges within the container.Show less

A flaw was found in Open Cluster Management (OCM), the technology underlying Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (ACM). Improper validation of Kubernetes client certificate renewal allows a managed cluster administrator to forge a client certificate that can be approved by the OCM controller. This enables cross-cluster privilege escalation and may allow an attacker to gain control over other managed clusters, including the hub cluster.Show less

A flaw was found in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management through versions 2.10, before 2.10.7, 2.11, before 2.11.4, and 2.12, before 2.12.4. This vulnerability allows an unprivileged user to view confidential managed cluster credentials through the UI. This information should only be accessible to authorized users and may result in the loss of confidentiality of administrative information, which could be leaked to unauthorized actors.Show less

The grc-policy-propagator allows security escalation within the cluster. The propagator allows policies which contain some dynamically obtained values (instead of the policy apply a static manifest on a managed cluster) of taking advantage of cluster scoped access in a created policy. This feature does not restrict properly to lookup content from the namespace where the policy was created.Show less

RHACM: unauthenticated SSRF in console API endpoint. A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability was found in the console API endpoint from Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM). An attacker could take advantage of this as the console API endpoint is missing an authentication check, allowing unauthenticated users making requests.Show less

A vulnerability was found in the search-api container in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes when a query in the search filter gets parsed by the backend. This flaw allows an attacker to craft specific strings containing special characters that lead to crashing the pod and affects system availability while restarting.Show less

A flaw was found in rhacm versions before 2.0.5 and before 2.1.0. Two internal service APIs were incorrectly provisioned using a test certificate from the source repository. This would result in all installations using the same certificates. If an attacker could observe network traffic internal to a cluster, they could use the private key to decode API requests that should be protected by TLS sessions, potentially obtaining information they would not otherwise be able to. These certificates are not used for service authentication, so no opportunity for impersonation or active MITM attacks were made possible.Show less

An issue was discovered in ManagedClusterView API, that could allow secrets to be disclosed to users without the correct permissions. Views created for an admin user would be made available for a short time to users with only view permission. In this short time window the user with view permission could read cluster secrets that should only be disclosed to admin users.Show less
