Summary

A flaw was found in the skupper console that allows manipulation of the authentication method, leading to password and file data exposure. An attacker can also induce skupper to read large files into memory, resulting in resource exhaustion.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability can lead to data confidentiality breaches and denial of service attacks, significantly impacting service availability within the organization.

Recommendation

It is recommended to change the default authentication method and to monitor and restrict access to files in the container filesystem to minimize risk.

Original NVD description (English source)

A flaw was found in the skupper console, a read-only interface that renders cluster network, traffic details, and metrics for a network application that a user sets up across a hybrid multi-cloud environment. When the default authentication method is used, a random password is generated for the "admin" user and is persisted in either a Kubernetes secret or a podman volume in a plaintext file. This authentication method can be manipulated by an attacker, leading to the reading of any user-readable file in the container filesystem, directly impacting data confidentiality. Additionally, the attacker may induce skupper to read extremely large files into memory, resulting in resource exhaustion and a denial of service attack.
