Description says the listener is externally reachable by network attackers, so AV:N rather than NVD's AV:A; no auth or interaction (PR:N/UI:N), and pivoting into data-plane clusters/pods changes scope (S:C) with full C/I/A loss.

DescriptionCVE.org

OpenChoreo is a complete, open-source developer platform for Kubernetes. Prior to 1.0.2 and 1.1.2, internal/cluster-gateway/server.go served caller-facing management APIs on the externally reachable agent listener without authentication, allowing network-reachable attackers to invoke /api/proxy/ and /api/exec/ operations, proxy the data-plane Kubernetes API, and execute commands in workload pods in multi-cluster deployments. This issue is fixed in versions 1.0.2 and 1.1.2.

AnalysisAI

Missing authentication on OpenChoreo's cluster-gateway (before 1.0.2 and 1.1.2) exposed caller-facing management APIs on the same externally reachable listener used for agent WebSocket traffic, letting network-reachable attackers hit /api/proxy/ and /api/exec/ without any credentials. In multi-cluster deployments this permits proxying the data-plane Kubernetes API and executing commands inside workload pods, effectively yielding cross-cluster control. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires a multi-cluster OpenChoreo deployment (before 1.0.2/1.1.2) where the cluster-gateway agent listener - which in the vulnerable design co-hosts the /api/proxy/ and /api/exec/ endpoints on the public port 8443 - is network-reachable by the attacker. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment All available signals point to genuine high priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who can reach the OpenChoreo cluster-gateway listener (for example from an adjacent network segment or an over-exposed data-plane endpoint) sends unauthenticated requests to /api/proxy/ to tunnel to a data-plane cluster's Kubernetes API, then calls /api/exec/ to run commands inside a workload pod. With low attack complexity and no authentication or user interaction required, this yields remote code execution and cross-cluster compromise; no public POC was referenced at time of analysis.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade to OpenChoreo 1.0.2 (1.0.x line) or 1.1.2 (1.1.x line), which move the /api/* management endpoints onto a separate internal listener (port 8444, flag --internal-port / env AGENT_INTERNAL_PORT) intended for in-cluster callers only, leaving the public listener serving only the /ws agent WebSocket. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: immediately inventory all OpenChoreo cluster-gateway deployments and document version numbers; implement network-level firewall rules to block external and untrusted traffic to cluster-gateway listeners, specifically denying public access to /api/proxy/ and /api/exec/ endpoints; restrict cluster-gateway access to internal networks only. …
