{"id":"GHSA-j8gh-87rx-c7w9","summary":"OpenShift Controller Manager Improper Privilege Management","details":"A flaw was found in OpenShift. This issue occurs due to the misuse of elevated privileges in the OpenShift Container Platform's build process. During the build initialization step, the git-clone container is run with a privileged security context, allowing unrestricted access to the node. An attacker with developer-level access can provide a crafted .gitconfig file containing commands executed during the cloning process, leading to arbitrary command execution on the worker node. An attacker running code in a privileged container could escalate their permissions on the node running the container.","aliases":["CVE-2024-45496","GO-2024-3128"],"modified":"2025-01-09T09:31:40Z","published":"2024-09-17T00:31:06Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed_at":"2024-09-17T18:14:23Z","github_reviewed":true,"cwe_ids":["CWE-269"],"nvd_published_at":"2024-09-17T00:15:52Z","severity":"MODERATE"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-45496"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/openshift/openshift-controller-manager/commit/3af3628103f9ddc3b825e6e5243ec58e85311046"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:3718"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:6685"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:6687"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:6689"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:6691"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:6705"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-45496"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2308661"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/openshift/openshift-controller-manager"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://pkg.go.dev/vuln/GO-2024-3128"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"github.com/openshift/openshift-controller-manager","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/openshift/openshift-controller-manager"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.0.0-alpha.0.0.20240911"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/09/GHSA-j8gh-87rx-c7w9/GHSA-j8gh-87rx-c7w9.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:L"}]}
