CVE-2024-5651 Information

Description

A flaw was found in fence agents that rely on SSH/Telnet. This vulnerability can allow a Remote Code Execution (RCE) primitive by supplying an arbitrary command to execute in the –ssh-path/–telnet-path arguments. A low-privilege user for example a user with developer access can create a specially crafted FenceAgentsRemediation for a fence agent supporting  –ssh-path/–telnet-path arguments to execute arbitrary commands on the operator’s pod. This RCE leads to a privilege escalation first as the service account running the operator then to another service account with cluster-admin privileges.
