REDHAT-BUG-2308673
First published: Fri Aug 30 2024(Updated: )
A vulnerability in the OpenShift Container Platform allows an attacker with developer access to modify the config.json file on a worker node. By exploiting the build process and using a misconfigured pod that mounts /var/lib/kubelet/config.json without read-only restrictions, the attacker can overwrite the credentials file required for pulling container images. This leads to a denial of service, preventing the node from fetching images and potentially leaking sensitive credentials used to access private image repositories.
