CVE-2022-3248: Openshift api admission checks does not enforce "custom-host" permissions

Published Apr 5, 2022
·
Updated

A flaw was found in OpenShift API, as admission checks do not enforce "custom-host" permissions. This issue could allow an attacker to violate the boundaries, as permissions will not be applied.

Other sources

The ability to specify a custom host name is governed by the "custom-host" permission, which is granted by default to all project administrators[1]. It is possible for the cluster administrator to revoke this permission. Then, the OpenShift API admission checks should prohibit project administrators from setting a custom host name on ingress and route objects. The problem is that the admission checks do not enforce this prohibition for ingress objects under some circumstances.
