Summary

In kube-compare, when processing a 'container://' reference path, the tool incorrectly executes an untrusted container image's entrypoint instead of merely extracting data from a stopped container. A remote attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution on the operator's workstation. If the Docker daemon requires elevated privileges, the untrusted code may execute with root-mediated daemon privileges.

Risk Assessment

Risk of operator workstation compromise by a remote attacker, potentially leading to data theft, malware installation, or further attacks on infrastructure.

Recommendation

Update kube-compare to a patched version. Restrict use of 'container://' references to trusted images and consider running the tool in a least-privilege environment.

Original NVD description (English source)

A flaw was found in kube-compare. When processing a 'container://' reference path, the tool incorrectly executes an untrusted container image's entrypoint instead of merely extracting data from a stopped container. This allows a remote attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution on the operator's workstation. If the Docker daemon requires elevated privileges, the untrusted code may execute with root-mediated daemon privileges, posing a significant security risk.
