Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls in apiserver - CVE-2024-3177

Vulnerability identifier: #VU88934

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 5.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3177

CWE-ID: CWE-264

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions. A remote user can launch containers that bypass the mountable secrets policy enforced by the ServiceAccount admission plugin when using containers, init containers, and ephemeral containers with the envFrom field populated.

Kubernetes clusters are only affected if the ServiceAccount admission plugin and the kubernetes.io/enforce-mountable-secrets annotation are used together with containers, init containers, and ephemeral containers with the envFrom field populated.
