Overview

CVE-2024-3177 is a low-severity vulnerability. It was published on April 22, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 2.7 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 2.7, rated LOW. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes where users may be able to launch containers that bypass the mountable secrets policy enforced by the ServiceAccount admission plugin when using containers, init containers, and ephemeral containers with the envFrom field populated. The policy ensures pods running with a service account may only reference secrets specified in the service account’s secrets field. Kubernetes clusters are only affected if the ServiceAccount admission plugin and the kubernetes.io/enforce-mountable-secrets annotation are used together with containers, init containers, and ephemeral containers with the envFrom field populated.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
