Network API reachable with low-privilege auth; trivial query-param substitution (AC:L); exec and log access justify full C/H/I/H/A:H; scope unchanged as exploitation stays within the namespace.

DescriptionCVE.org

OpenChoreo is a complete, open-source developer platform for Kubernetes. From 1.2.0-rc.1 until 1.2.0, internal/openchoreo-api/api/handlers/exec.go and internal/openchoreo-api/api/handlers/wirelogs.go authorize component:exec and wirelogs:view using the caller-supplied project query parameter instead of comp.Spec.Owner.ProjectName, allowing a user with a project-scoped grant to execute commands in and read wirelogs from components owned by other projects in the same namespace. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.2.0.

AnalysisAI

Authorization bypass in OpenChoreo's Kubernetes developer platform allows any authenticated user with a project-scoped grant to execute commands in and exfiltrate wirelogs from components belonging to entirely different projects within the same namespace. The root cause is that the component:exec and wirelogs:view API handlers in exec.go and wirelogs.go evaluate authorization using the attacker-controlled project query parameter rather than the authoritative comp.Spec.Owner.ProjectName field - a textbook CWE-639 insecure direct object reference. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate to OpenChoreo API with valid project grant
Delivery
Enumerate or guess target project name in the same namespace
Exploit
Craft API request substituting victim project name in query parameter
Execution
Authorization check trusts caller-supplied parameter, bypasses project ownership validation
Persist
Execute commands in victim project's containers or stream wirelogs
Impact
Exfiltrate secrets or disrupt workloads

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must be an authenticated OpenChoreo user holding at least a project-scoped grant (any project within the same Kubernetes namespace as the target) - CVSS PR:L confirms low-privilege authenticated access is required, not unauthenticated. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H scores 8.8, reflecting a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring only low-privilege authentication (any project-scoped user). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has legitimately obtained a project-scoped grant for their own project (`project-attacker`) within a shared OpenChoreo namespace issues an API request to the `component:exec` or `wirelogs:view` endpoint, substituting `project-victim` as the query parameter value. Because the authorization check trusts this caller-supplied value, the API grants access to a component owned by `project-victim`. …
Remediation Upgrade to OpenChoreo 1.2.0, which contains the confirmed fix replacing the caller-supplied project query parameter with the authoritative server-side `comp.Spec.Owner.ProjectName` field for authorization in both `exec.go` and `wirelogs.go`. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, review and correlate authentication logs and API audit trails specifically for cross-project component:exec and wirelogs:view requests to identify if this vulnerability has been actively exploited. …
