A flaw was found in HyperShift's hosted control plane konnectivity-server configuration. The proxy-server is started without the --cluster-ca-cert flag, which means the agent-facing TLS listener is set to tls.NoClientCert and does not request or verify client certificates at all. An attacker with network access to the externally-exposed konnectivity cluster endpoint can connect with an arbitrary or self-signed certificate (or no certificate) and be added to the agent routing pool. Once in the routing pool, the attacker can intercept, modify, or drop control-plane-to-node traffic that the server routes through their connection, including kubectl exec/logs streams, kubelet API calls with pod specs containing secrets, service account tokens, and ConfigMap/Secret data. The fix adds --cluster-ca-cert referencing the existing per-cluster konnectivity CA bundle that is already mounted in the container.
