CVE-2024-45496

9.9 CRITICAL 1% exploit odds No fix listed Auth & access Server

What it is

A flaw was found in OpenShift. This issue occurs due to the misuse of elevated privileges in the OpenShift Container Platform's build process. During the build initialization step, the git-clone container is run with a privileged security context, allowing unrestricted access to the node. An attacker with developer-level access can provide a crafted .gitconfig file containing commands executed during the cloning process, leading to arbitrary command execution on the worker node. An attacker running code in a privileged container could escalate their permissions on the node running the container.

At a glance

Exploitability: Can be exploited over the network with a low-privilege account. High risk of data exposure, data tampering.
Exploit odds: 1.0% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days (EPSS).
Fix: No patch or advisory is linked yet. Look at mitigations or restrict exposure.
