Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Amazon EFS Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver. When the controller is configured with the non-default --delete-access-point-root-dir=true option, it does not verify that the EFS access point referenced by a PersistentVolume's volumeHandle belongs to the file system referenced by that same volumeHandle. An authenticated Kubernetes user with PersistentVolume creation privileges could exploit this vulnerability. By crafting a PersistentVolume volumeHandle that pairs an access point from one filesystem with a different target filesystem, an attacker could cause recursive deletion of directories on an Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) filesystem they are not authorized to access. This could lead to a denial of service or data loss.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-04 19:02:31 UTC
Unverified ownership of a storage access point in the volume deletion component of the Amazon EFS CSI Driver before v3.4.1 might allow an authenticated Kubernetes user with PersistentVolume creation privileges to cause recursive deletion of directories on an EFS filesystem they are not authorized to access, via a crafted PersistentVolume volumeHandle that pairs an access point from one filesystem with a different target filesystem.



To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version v3.4.1.
