Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-06-17 22:30 – Updated: 2024-10-16 17:26

Summary
Rancher's RKE1 Encryption Config kept in plain-text within cluster AppliedSpec
Details

Impact

This issue is only relevant to clusters provisioned using RKE1 with secrets encryption configuration enabled.

A vulnerability has been identified in which an RKE1 cluster keeps constantly reconciling when secrets encryption configuration is enabled (please see the RKE documentation). When reconciling, the Kube API secret values are written in plaintext on the AppliedSpec. Cluster owners, Cluster members, and Project members (for projects within the cluster), all have RBAC permissions to view the cluster object from the apiserver.

This could lead to an unauthorized user gaining access to the entire secrets encryption config specific for the cluster, only on the applied spec.

Since this affects only custom encryption configurations, users need to manually rotate the keys by editing the cluster. For more information, please refer to the RKE secrets encryption documentation.

The full custom configuration example:

services:
  kube-api:
    secrets_encryption_config:
      enabled: true
      custom_config:
        apiVersion: apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1
        kind: EncryptionConfiguration
        resources:
        - resources:
          - secrets
          providers:
          - aescbc:
              keys:
              - name: k-fw5hn
                secret: RTczRjFDODMwQzAyMDVBREU4NDJBMUZFNDhCNzM5N0I= #<--- needs to be changed
          - identity: {}

Please consult the associated MITRE ATT&CK - Technique - Unsecured Credentials for further information about this category of attack.

Patches

To address this issue, the fix introduces a new change that copies the AppliedSpec before mutating. As such, the next time the cluster is reconciled and the AppliedSpec is set, all references to sensitive data will be removed.

Patched versions include releases 2.7.14 and 2.8.5.

Workarounds

There are no workarounds for this issue. Users are recommended to upgrade, as soon as possible, to a version of RKE/Rancher Manager which contains the fixes.

Summary
Jenkins Apica Loadtest Plugin vulnerability exposes authentication tokens
Details

Jenkins Apica Loadtest Plugin 1.10 and earlier stores Apica Loadtest LTP authentication tokens unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins controller as part of its configuration.

These tokens can be viewed by users with Item/Extended Read permission or access to the Jenkins controller file system.

Additionally, the job configuration form does not mask these tokens, increasing the potential for attackers to observe and capture them.

As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix.

Summary
Clear Text Credentials Exposed via Onboarding Task
Details

Impact

When credentials are provided while creating an OnboardingTask they may be visible via the Job Results view under the Additional Data tab as args for the Celery Task execution. This only applies to OnboardingTasks that are created with credentials specified while on v2.0.0-2.0.2 of Nautobot Device Onboarding. This advisory does not apply earlier version or when using NAPALM_USERNAME & NAPALM_PASSWORD from nautobot_config.py

Patches

v3.0.0

Workarounds

None

Recommendations

  • Delete all Job Results for any onboarding task to remove clear text credentials from database entries that were run while on v2.0.X
  • Upgrade to v3.0.0
  • Rotate any exposed credential

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-09-13 09:30 – Updated: 2024-04-04 07:38
VLAI
Details

A password management vulnerability in Skyhigh Secure Web Gateway (SWG) in main releases 11.x prior to 11.2.14, 10.x prior to 10.2.25 and controlled release 12.x prior to 12.2.1, allows some authentication information stored in configuration files to be extracted through SWG REST API. This was possible due to SWG storing the password in plain text in some configuration files.

Severity

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.
