Ironic and ironic-inspector may expose as ConfigMaps

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Apr 26, 2023 in metal3-io/baremetal-operator • Updated Nov 7, 2023

Package

gomod github.com/metal3-io/baremetal-operator (Go)

Affected versions

< 0.3.0

Patched versions

0.3.0

Description

Impact

Ironic and ironic-inspector deployed within Baremetal Operator using the included deploy.sh store their .htpasswd files as ConfigMaps instead of Secrets. This causes the plain-text username and hashed password to be readable by anyone having a cluster-wide read-access to the management cluster, or access to the management cluster's Etcd storage.

Patches

This issue is patched in baremetal-operator PR#1241, and is included in BMO release 0.3.0 onwards.

Workarounds

User may modify the kustomizations and redeploy the BMO, or recreate the required ConfigMaps as Secrets per instructions in baremetal-operator PR#1241

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
