Severity:
CVSS 3.1: 8.8 (high) CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Affected versions:
- Apache Camel Karavan 4.0.0 before 4.22.1
Description:
Improper input validation vulnerability in Apache Camel Karavan.
When a deployment was started, Karavan unmarshalled a project's
`kubernetes.yaml` and applied every resource it contained to the cluster
without restricting the resource kinds, without rejecting security-sensitive
pod options, and without pinning the target namespace. An authenticated user of
any role could therefore have Karavan apply arbitrary Kubernetes resources
within the reach of its service account, including pods requesting hostNetwork,
hostPID, hostIPC, hostPath volumes, host ports, privileged containers,
privilege escalation or added capabilities.
This issue affects Apache Camel Karavan: from 4.0.0 before 4.22.1.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.22.1, which fixes the issue.
Solution:
Upgrade to Apache Camel Karavan 4.22.1. Apache Camel Karavan has no maintenance
branches, so 4.22.1 is the only release containing the fix. Operators should
also ensure PodSecurity admission is enforced on the namespace Karavan deploys
into, and keep the service account's RBAC no wider than Karavan requires.
