GHSA-CQ4P-VP5Q-4522

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-01-25 19:36 – Updated: 2023-02-15 18:40

Summary
Plaintext storage of sensitive data in Rancher API and cluster.management.cattle.io objects
Details

Impact

This issue affects Rancher versions from 2.5.0 up to and including 2.5.16, from 2.6.0 up to and including 2.6.9 and 2.7.0. It was discovered that the security advisory CVE-2021-36782 (GHSA-g7j7-h4q8-8w2f), previously released by Rancher, missed addressing some sensitive fields, secret tokens, encryption keys, and SSH keys that were still being stored in plaintext directly on Kubernetes objects like Clusters.

The exposed credentials are visible in Rancher to authenticated Cluster Owners, Cluster Members, Project Owners and Project Members of that cluster on the endpoints:

  • /v1/management.cattle.io.cluster
  • /v1/management.cattle.io.clustertemplaterevisions

The remaining sensitive fields are now stripped from Clusters and other objects and moved to a Secret before the object is stored. The Secret is retrieved when the credential is needed. For objects that existed before this security fix, a one-time migration happens on startup.

The fields that have been addressed by this security fix are:

  • Cluster.Spec.RancherKubernetesEngineConfig.Services.KubeAPI.SecretsEncryptionConfig.CustomConfig.Providers[].AESGCM.Keys[].Secret
  • Cluster.Spec.RancherKubernetesEngineConfig.Services.KubeAPI.SecretsEncryptionConfig.CustomConfig.Providers[].AESCBC.Keys[].Secret
  • Cluster.Spec.RancherKubernetesEngineConfig.Services.KubeAPI.SecretsEncryptionConfig.CustomConfig.Providers[].SecretboxConfiguration.Keys[].Secret
  • Cluster.Spec.RancherKubernetesEngineConfig.Services.Kubelet.ExtraEnv when containing the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variable
  • Cluster.Spec.RancherKubernetesEngineConfig.BastionHost.SSHKey
  • Cluster.Spec.RancherKubernetesEngineConfig.PrivateRegistries[].ECRCredentialPlugin.AwsSecretAccessKey
  • Cluster.Spec.RancherKubernetesEngineConfig.PrivateRegistries[].ECRCredentialPlugin.AwsSessionToken
  • Cluster.Spec.RancherKubernetesEngineConfig.Network.AciNetworkProvider.ApicUserKey
  • Cluster.Spec.RancherKubernetesEngineConfig.Network.AciNetworkProvider.KafkaClientKey
  • Cluster.Spec.RancherKubernetesEngineConfig.Network.AciNetworkProvider.Token

Important:

  • For the exposure of credentials not related to Rancher, the final impact severity for confidentiality, integrity and availability is dependent on the permissions the leaked credentials have on their services.

  • It is recommended to review for potentially leaked credentials in this scenario and to change them if deemed necessary.

Workarounds

There is no direct mitigation besides updating Rancher to a patched version.

Patches

Patched versions include releases 2.5.17, 2.6.10, 2.7.1 and later versions.

After upgrading to a patched version, it is important to check for the ACISecretsMigrated and RKESecretsMigrated conditions on Clusters and ClusterTemplateRevisions to confirm when secrets have been fully migrated off of those objects, and the objects scoped within them.

GHSA-FRQC-23QH-4RQ8

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-04-25 18:30 – Updated: 2024-04-25 18:30
VLAI
Details

A flaw was found when using mirror-registry to install Quay. It uses a default database secret key, which is stored in plain-text format in one of the configuration template files. This issue may lead to all instances of Quay deployed using mirror-registry to have the same database secret key. This flaw allows a malicious actor to access sensitive information from Quay's database.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Avoid storing passwords in easily accessible locations.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Consider storing cryptographic hashes of passwords as an alternative to storing in plaintext.

Mitigation

A programmer might attempt to remedy the password management problem by obscuring the password with an encoding function, such as base 64 encoding, but this effort does not adequately protect the password because the encoding can be detected and decoded easily.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
