Summary

Ansible Operator Plugins contains a Jinja2 template injection vulnerability. A low-privileged Kubernetes user can craft malicious custom resource (CR) specification values that are processed by Ansible without proper sanitization, leading to code execution in the operator pod.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can achieve remote code execution and privilege escalation, taking control of the operator's service account with cluster-wide permissions.

Recommendation

Restrict the ability to create and modify custom resources to trusted users and apply the vendor update once available.

Original NVD description (English source)

A flaw was found in Ansible Operator Plugins. A low-privileged Kubernetes user can exploit a Jinja2 template injection vulnerability by crafting malicious custom resource (CR) specification values. These values are processed by Ansible without proper sanitization, allowing embedded Jinja2 expressions to be executed within the operator pod. This can lead to arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation, granting the attacker control over the operator's service account with cluster-wide permissions.
