Description states no client cert or token is required so PR:N not PR:L; internal listener implies adjacent AV:A, low complexity, and gateway-to-data-plane reach gives S:C with full C/I/A impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

OpenChoreo is a complete, open-source developer platform for Kubernetes. Prior to 1.0.3, 1.1.3, and 1.2.0-rc.2, internal/cluster-gateway/server.go exposed /api/proxy/, /api/exec/, and /api/wirelogs/ on an internal listener without requiring a client certificate or token, allowing any network-reachable caller to read tenant Kubernetes Secrets, mutate workloads, and execute commands across connected data planes. This issue is fixed in versions 1.0.3, 1.1.3, and 1.2.0-rc.2.

AnalysisAI

Missing authentication in OpenChoreo's cluster-gateway internal API lets any network-reachable caller invoke /api/proxy/, /api/exec/, and /api/wirelogs/ without a client certificate or token, exposing tenant Kubernetes Secrets and allowing workload mutation and arbitrary command execution across every connected data plane. All deployments before 1.0.3, 1.1.3, and 1.2.0-rc.2 are affected, and the fix introduces an opt-in --internal-mtls mode plus a dedicated internal CA. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Gain in-cluster network foothold
Delivery
Reach unauthenticated gateway internal listener
Exploit
Call /api/exec and /api/proxy without credentials
Execution
Execute commands and read tenant Secrets on data planes
Impact
Mutate workloads and pivot across clusters

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reachability to the cluster-gateway's internal API listener (CVSS AV:A, adjacent) that serves /api/proxy/, /api/exec/, and /api/wirelogs/ - typically an in-cluster position such as a compromised pod, a workload sharing the pod/service network, or a listener inadvertently exposed on a routable interface. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine high-priority issue: the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C, C:H/I:H/A:H, base 9.0) reflects low complexity, no user interaction, and a scope change that spans from the gateway into connected data planes, which matches the described ability to read Secrets, mutate workloads, and run commands cluster-wide. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who gains a foothold on the cluster network - for example a compromised pod or a workload on the same segment as the cluster-gateway - sends unauthenticated HTTP requests to the internal /api/exec/ endpoint and executes commands inside pods on a connected data plane, then queries /api/proxy/ to dump tenant Kubernetes Secrets. Because low attack complexity and no user interaction are required, this can be scripted for rapid cross-tenant, multi-cluster compromise; no public POC was provided in the input.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade to OpenChoreo 1.0.3, 1.1.3, or 1.2.0-rc.2 depending on your release line, per GHSA-rh53-xvx2-j327 and the corresponding release tags and PRs (https://github.com/openchoreo/openchoreo/pull/4256, /4258, /4259; commits 50fcae3, 93e6f10, e3da3c6). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all OpenChoreo deployments in your environment and verify which versions are deployed; assess whether the internal listener is accessible from untrusted networks and document the exposure scope. …
