Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-04-12 20:40 – Updated: 2023-04-25 16:34

Summary

OpenFeature Operator vulnerable to Cluster-level Privilege Escalation

Details

Impact

On a node controlled by an attacker or malicious user, the lax permissions configured on open-feature-operator-controller-manager can be used to further escalate the privileges of any service account in the cluster.

The increased privileges could be used to modify cluster state, leading to DoS, or read sensitive data, including secrets.

Patches

The patch mitigates this issue by restricting the resources the open-feature-operator-controller-manager can modify.

Severity ?

8.8 (High)

CVE-2023-29018 (GCVE-0-2023-29018)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-04-14 18:47 – Updated: 2025-02-06 18:42

Title

OpenFeature Operator vulnerable to Cluster-level Privilege Escalation

Summary

The OpenFeature Operator allows users to expose feature flags to applications. Assuming the pre-existence of a vulnerability that allows for arbitrary code execution, an attacker could leverage the lax permissions configured on `open-feature-operator-controller-manager` to escalate the privileges of any SA in the cluster. The increased privileges could be used to modify cluster state, leading to DoS, or read sensitive data, including secrets. Version 0.2.32 mitigates this issue by restricting the resources the `open-feature-operator-controller-manager` can modify.

Severity ?

8.1 (High)
