CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12582

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 to application stored credentials in either a Kubernetes secret or a podman volume in a plaintext file when the default authentication method is used. A local user can view contents of the configuration file and gain access to passwords for 3rd party integration. Additionally, a user may induce skupper into reading extremely large files into memory, resulting in resource exhaustion and a denial of service attack.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
