Lifecycle Timeline
4Description
KubeVirt is a virtual machine management add-on for Kubernetes. The `hostDisk` feature in KubeVirt allows mounting a host file or directory owned by the user with UID 107 into a VM. However, prior to version 1.6.1 and 1.7.0, the implementation of this feature and more specifically the `DiskOrCreate` option (which creates a file if it doesn't exist) has a logic bug that allows an attacker to read and write arbitrary files owned by more privileged users on the host system. Versions 1.6.1 and 1.7.0 fix the issue.
Analysis
KubeVirt is a virtual machine management add-on for Kubernetes. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.5), this vulnerability is no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available.
