Summary
IPAM, the IP address Manager for Cluster API Provider Metal3, prior to versions 1.11.7, 1.12.4, and 1.13.0, granted full CRUD permissions for core/v1 Secrets. Under normal operation, the controller does not access Secrets, but if the controller pod were compromised, an attacker could leverage these excessive permissions to read, modify, or delete Secrets.
Risk Assessment
Compromise of the controller could lead to exposure of credentials and other sensitive information, posing a significant security risk to the organization.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to versions 1.11.7, 1.12.4, or 1.13.0 to remove excessive permissions and minimize risk.
Original NVD description (English source)
IPAM is the IP address Manager for Cluster API Provider Metal3. Prior to versions 1.11.7, 1.12.4, and 1.13.0, the IPAM controller's ClusterRole granted full CRUD permissions (create, delete, get, list, patch, update, watch) on core/v1 Secrets. The controller never accesses Secrets during normal operation. If the controller pod were compromised (e.g. via supply chain attack or container escape), an attacker could leverage these excessive permissions to read, modify, or delete Secrets in the namespace, potentially exposing credentials and other sensitive data. This issue has been patched in versions 1.11.7, 1.12.4, and 1.13.0.
