GHSA-wgqq-9qh8-wvqv: OpenShift Hive RCE through AWS/Kubernetes client configuration leads to privilege escalation
A flaw was found in the Hive ClusterDeployments resource in OpenShift Dedicated. In certain conditions, this issue may allow a developer account on a Hive-enabled cluster to obtain cluster-admin privileges by executing arbitrary commands on the hive/hive-controllers pod.
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.
