Описание
A flaw was found in the managedcluster-import-controller. The Certificate Signing Request (CSR) auto-approval logic improperly validates incoming CSRs, specifically by not inspecting the signer name or decoding the PEM-encoded x509 CSR. This vulnerability allows a privileged service account on a spoke cluster to submit a malicious CSR. Successful exploitation can lead to privilege escalation, enabling the attacker to obtain administrative credentials on the hub cluster.
Отчет
Critical: The managedcluster-import-controller in Red Hat OpenShift Multicluster Engine is vulnerable to a privilege escalation flaw. A compromised spoke bootstrap Service Account can exploit insufficient validation in the CSR auto-approval process to gain cluster-admin privileges on the hub cluster. This poses a significant risk to the overall security of the multicluster environment.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
