A security issue was discovered in ingress-nginx where the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-method Ingress annotation can be used to inject configuration into nginx. This can lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the ingress-nginx controller, and disclosure of Secrets accessible to the controller. (Note that in the default installation, the controller can access all Secrets cluster-wide.)
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary code execution in ingress-nginx controllers via malicious nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-method Ingress annotations allows authenticated attackers to execute commands within the controller context and access cluster-wide Secrets. This vulnerability affects Nginx and Kubernetes deployments where the ingress controller has default cluster-wide Secret access permissions. …

RemediationAI
Within 24 hours: Audit all Ingress resources for suspicious auth-method annotations and identify which clusters run vulnerable ingress-nginx versions. Within 7 days: Implement network policies to restrict Ingress controller access, enforce admission controllers to validate Ingress annotations, and disable the auth-method annotation if unused. …
