DescriptionCVE.org

A security issue was discovered in ingress-nginx where the rules.http.paths.path Ingress field 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

Ingress-nginx controllers are vulnerable to arbitrary code execution through malicious path specifications in Ingress rules, allowing authenticated attackers to inject nginx configuration and execute commands with controller privileges. The vulnerability also enables disclosure of cluster-wide Secrets accessible to the controller. No patch is currently available, and exploitation requires low complexity with only low privileges needed.

Technical ContextAI

Classified as CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation). A security issue was discovered in ingress-nginx where the rules.http.paths.path Ingress field 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.)

Affected ProductsAI

A security issue was discovered in ingress-nginx where the rules.http.paths.path Ingress field can be used to inject configuration into nginx. This

RemediationAI

Monitor vendor advisories for a patch. Restrict network access to the affected service where possible.
