Description Arnab Ghosh 2020-08-27 10:26:55 UTC
Description of problem:
SSH to api and console URL is possible and this looks like a security threats. Private key is required though to be able to ssh to route URL's. Looks like SSH is possible as Floating IP is attached to apiVIP and ingressVIP.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Openshift 4.5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to SSH to api and console route URL when cluster is hosted on Openstack 
2.
3.

Actual results:
SSH to api URL and console route should not be allowed

Expected results:
SSH can be done as floating IP is assigned to api VIP and ingress VIP.

Additional info:
Refer to comment section

I know it SSH access to the API-int and ingress is not really possible on cloud platforms, since usually that's the address of a cloud LB. Could you give me more info on what poses the security risk in being able to SSH to master or worker nodes from another IP address than the node one?
