CVSSv3.1: 2.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11250

CWE-ID: CWE-256 - Unprotected Storage of Credentials

Exploit availability: No

Description

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.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
