Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Unprotected storage of credentials (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11250)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to other users' credentials.

The vulnerability exists due Kubernetes client-go library logs request headers at verbosity levels of 7 or higher. This can disclose credentials to unauthorized users via logs or command output. Kubernetes components (such as kube-apiserver) prior to v1.16.0, which make use of basic or bearer token authentication, and run at high verbosity levels, are affected. A local user can view contents of the configuration file and gain access to passwords for 3rd party integration.
