CRITICAL 9.9

DescriptionCVE.org

A malicious user can manipulate the parameters.pathPattern to create PersistentVolumes in arbitrary locations on the host node, potentially overwriting sensitive files or gaining access to unintended directories.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal in Kubernetes PersistentVolume creation via pathPattern parameter allows creating volumes in arbitrary host filesystem locations. CVSS 9.9 with scope change.

Technical ContextAI

CWE-23 relative path traversal. The parameters.pathPattern field in PersistentVolume specs can be manipulated to create volumes at arbitrary host paths.

Affected ProductsAI

Affected Kubernetes storage provisioner

RemediationAI

Update the storage provisioner. Implement path validation for pathPattern. Use PodSecurityPolicies/Standards to restrict volume mounts.
