FKIE_CVE-2024-5651
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-08-12 13:38 - Updated: 2026-06-17 08:16
Severity
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.

Esta vulnerabilidad puede permitir una primitiva de ejecuci\u00f3n remota de c\u00f3digo (RCE) al proporcionar un comando arbitrario para ejecutar en los argumentos --ssh-path/--telnet-path. Un usuario con pocos privilegios, por ejemplo, un usuario con acceso de desarrollador, puede crear un FenceAgentsRemediation especialmente manipulado para que un agente de valla admita argumentos --ssh-path/--telnet-path para ejecutar comandos arbitrarios en el m\u00f3dulo del operador.
