Fission is an open-source, Kubernetes-native serverless framework that simplifies the deployment of functions and applications on Kubernetes. Prior to version 1.24.0, a tenant with environments.fission.io create/update RBAC can run privileged / allowPrivilegeEscalation / dangerous-capability containers in the Fission function or builder namespace, scheduled under the executor's high-privilege service account - enabling container-sandbox escape, host filesystem and network access, and potential node- and cluster-level compromise. This issue has been patched in version 1.24.0.

AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Fission prior to version 1.24.0 allows a tenant holding environments.fission.io create/update RBAC to define Environment custom resources with privileged, allowPrivilegeEscalation, or dangerous Linux capabilities on the bare Runtime.Container or Builder.Container fields, which bypass the existing PodSpec safety validator and get scheduled under the executor's high-privilege service account. Successful abuse enables container-sandbox escape, host filesystem and network access, and node- or cluster-level compromise. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the upstream fix is published in v1.24.0.
Technical ContextAI
Fission is a Kubernetes-native serverless framework whose Environment CRD exposes spec.runtime.container and spec.builder.container as bare apiv1.Container objects that are merged into runtime/builder pods. The pre-fix ValidatePodSpecSafety in pkg/apis/core/v1/podspec_safety.go only walked PodSpec.Containers and InitContainers, so the standalone Container fields on the Environment CRD were never inspected, leaving SecurityContext.Privileged, AllowPrivilegeEscalation, and Capabilities.Add unchecked. This is a CWE-250 (Execution with Unnecessary Privileges) class flaw: the executor-managed pod runs under a high-privilege service account, so unsafe containers attached via Environment effectively inherit cluster-administrative reach. The patch introduces a standalone ValidateContainerSafety helper invoked both from the PodSpec walker and directly from Environment.Validate to close the bypass (PR #3406, closing GHSA-m63v-2g9w-2w6v).
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Fission to version 1.24.0 or later, which adds ValidateContainerSafety enforcement against Environment.spec.runtime.container and spec.builder.container (see https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/tag/v1.24.0 and PR https://github.com/fission/fission/pull/3406). Where immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict the environments.fission.io create/update verbs in Roles/ClusterRoles to trusted platform operators only and remove this RBAC from tenant namespaces, accepting that tenants will lose self-service Environment management. As an additional compensating control, enforce a cluster-wide admission policy (Kyverno, OPA Gatekeeper, or Pod Security Admission acting on the Fission function/builder namespaces) that rejects pods with securityContext.privileged=true, allowPrivilegeEscalation=true, or dangerous capabilities such as SYS_ADMIN and NET_ADMIN; this adds latency and may break legitimate Environments that rely on elevated capabilities but blocks the bypass even without the upstream patch.
