Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Kubernetes. This flaw allows an actor that controls the responses of the MutatingWebhookConfiguration or the ValidatingWebhookConfiguration requests to redirect kube-apiserver requests to the private network of the apiserver. If that user can view kube-apiserver logs when the log level is set to 10, they can view the redirected responses and headers in the logs, potentially revealing sensitive information in its responses.

Description Sam Fowler 2021-09-02 01:13:41 UTC
A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes where actors that control the responses of MutatingWebhookConfiguration or ValidatingWebhookConfiguration requests are able to redirect kube-apiserver requests to private networks of the apiserver. If that user can view kube-apiserver logs when the log level is set to 10, they can view the redirected responses and headers in the logs.
