CVE-2018-1002102: Kubernetes API server follows unvalidated redirects from streaming Kubelet endpoints

Published Sep 26, 2018
·
Updated

Improper validation of URL redirection in the Kubernetes API server in versions prior to v1.14.0 allows an attacker-controlled Kubelet to redirect API server requests from streaming endpoints to arbitrary hosts. Impacted API servers will follow the redirect as a GET request with client-certificate credentials for authenticating to the Kubelet.
