CVE-2024-25131: Openshift-dedicated: must-gather-operator: yaml template injection leads to privilege escalation
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.76% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 55.8% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: github.com/openshift/must-gather-operator must-gather-operator 4997ad93f0238464c626b1b4832d5b695d68517e.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to github.com/openshift/must-gather-operator must-gather-operator 4997ad93f0238464c626b1b4832d5b695d68517e or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A flaw was found in the MustGather.managed.openshift.io Custom Defined Resource (CRD) of OpenShift Dedicated. A non-privileged user on the cluster can create a MustGather object with a specially crafted file and set the most privileged service account to run the job. This can allow a standard developer user to escalate their privileges to a cluster administrator and pivot to the AWS environment.
