Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-922: Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information, where the product stores sensitive information without properly limiting read or write access by unauthorized actors. In Github.com/openshift/hive, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A flaw was found in Hive, a component of Multicluster Engine (MCE) and Advanced Cluster Management (ACM). This vulnerability causes VCenter credentials to be exposed in the ClusterProvision object after provisioning a VSphere cluster. Users with read access to ClusterProvision objects can extract sensitive credentials even if they do not have direct access to Kubernetes Secrets. This issue can lead to unauthorized VCenter access, cluster management, and privilege escalation.
