CVE-2024-5651 (GCVE-0-2024-5651)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-08-12 05:46 – Updated: 2026-02-25 20:31

Title

Fence-agents-remediation: fence agent command line options leads to remote code execution

Summary

A flaw was found in the Fence Agents Remediation operator. This vulnerability can allow a Remote Code Execution (RCE) primitive by supplying an arbitrary command to execute in the --ssh-path/--telnet-path arguments. A low-privilege user, for example, a user with developer access, can create a specially crafted FenceAgentsRemediation for a fence agent supporting --ssh-path/--telnet-path arguments to execute arbitrary commands on the operator's pod. This RCE leads to a privilege escalation, first as the service account running the operator, then to another service account with cluster-admin privileges.

Severity

8.8 (High)

GHSA-76QM-C9J2-WM6V

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-08-12 15:30 – Updated: 2024-08-30 15:31

Details

A flaw was found in fence agents that rely on SSH/Telnet. This vulnerability can allow a Remote Code Execution (RCE) primitive by supplying an arbitrary command to execute in the --ssh-path/--telnet-path arguments. A low-privilege user, for example, a user with developer access, can create a specially crafted FenceAgentsRemediation for a fence agent supporting --ssh-path/--telnet-path arguments to execute arbitrary commands on the operator's pod. This RCE leads to a privilege escalation, first as the service account running the operator, then to another service account with cluster-admin privileges.

Severity

8.8 (High)
