Summary
open-feature-operator: Cross-namespace FeatureFlagSource and InProcessConfiguration resolution exposes spec contents on multi-tenant clusters
Details

Summary

A namespaced FeatureFlagSource or InProcessConfiguration resource can be referenced cross-namespace via the openfeature.dev/featureflagsource annotation using the documented {NAMESPACE}/{NAME} syntax. The operator resolves the referenced resource cluster-wide and materializes its contents (env vars, flagd sidecar arguments including httpSyncBearerToken, sync URIs, supporting ConfigMaps) into the referencing workload.

On multi-tenant clusters that treat namespaces as trust boundaries, a tenant who can deploy a controller-owned workload in their own namespace can cause the operator to read another tenant's FeatureFlagSource / InProcessConfiguration spec contents.

Impact

  • Single-tenant clusters: not impacted.
  • Multi-tenant clusters using namespaces as trust boundaries: tenant-to-tenant disclosure of any data placed inline in FeatureFlagSource / InProcessConfiguration spec, including spec.envVars literal values, spec.httpSyncBearerToken, and sync URIs.

Behavior is documented

The cross-namespace {NAMESPACE}/{NAME} annotation syntax is intentional and documented in docs/annotations.md and docs/feature_flag_source.md. The operator's cluster-wide RBAC scope is intentional. Namespace-as-trust-boundary is not part of the operator's current stated security model.

This advisory makes the tenancy assumption explicit and tracks the architectural change that will eliminate the implicit cross-namespace pattern.

Corrections to the original report

Two technical points in the original report require correction:

  1. secretKeyRef / configMapKeyRef cross-namespace disclosure is not possible via this path. Kubelet resolves these as LocalObjectReference against the pod's own namespace; the operator does not bypass that. The actual disclosure surface is FeatureFlagSource / InProcessConfiguration spec contents the operator itself materializes (inline envVars values, httpSyncBearerToken, sync URIs).
  2. create featureflagsources is not a prerequisite. The webhook rejects pods without OwnerReferences (pod_webhook.go:75-77), so the prerequisite is create on a workload controller (deployments, statefulsets, daemonsets, jobs, cronjobs, replicasets) in a namespace the attacker controls. FeatureFlagSource create in any namespace is not required.

Mitigations

As with any Kubernetes CRD, treat the spec content of FeatureFlagSource and InProcessConfiguration as readable by anyone with read access to the resource, and don't place plaintext secrets in CR spec fields. Fields most likely to bite users:

  • spec.sources[].source, when the URI embeds credentials (e.g. https://user:pass@host/repo)
  • spec.sources[].certPath, if the path itself is sensitive
  • inline spec.envVars[].value (use valueFrom.secretKeyRef instead; kubelet enforces same-namespace resolution and the secret value is not stored in the CR)

If developers treat namespaces as trust boundaries:

  • restrict create on featureflagsources / inprocessconfigurations via RBAC where feasible,

Roadmap

A future release will introduce explicit cluster-scoped CRDs (ClusterFeatureFlagSource, ClusterInProcessConfiguration) and remove implicit cross-namespace resolution. This is a breaking change tracked in #847.

Precedent

This class of issue (authenticated namespace tenant abuses an unenforced cluster-wide surface that crosses an assumed namespace boundary) has Kubernetes precedent: CVE-2020-8554 (External IPs) was accepted as documented posture and mitigated via an opt-in admission plugin.

Credit

Reported by @0xVijay. Thanks for the disclosure. This appears to be an example of https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/668.html. In terms of how it ended up here, it's more of an unimplemented security feature than an "bug". It seems to deviate from reasonable expectations and conventions in the K8s ecosystem. See https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/cve-2020-8554 as an example of a comparable vulnerability.

GHSA-3HVJ-CH28-P4X7

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-22 18:30 – Updated: 2026-01-22 18:30
VLAI
Details

VB-Audio Matrix and Matrix Coconut (versions ending in 1.0.2.2 and 2.0.2.2 and earlier, respectively), contain a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the VBMatrix VAIO virtual audio driver (vbmatrixvaio64*_win10.sys). The driver allocates a 128-byte non-paged pool buffer and, upon receiving IOCTL 0x222060, maps it into user space using an MDL and MmMapLockedPagesSpecifyCache. Because the allocation size is not page-aligned, the mapping exposes the entire 0x1000-byte kernel page containing the buffer plus adjacent non-paged pool allocations with read/write permissions. An unprivileged local attacker can open a device handle (using the required 0x800 attribute flag), invoke the IOCTL to obtain the mapping, and then read or modify live kernel objects and pointers present on that page. This enables bypass of KASLR, arbitrary kernel memory read/write within the exposed page, corruption of kernel objects, and escalation to SYSTEM.

Severity
8.5 (High)
