CVE-2022-23509
Weave Gitops Run vulnerable to insecure communication
In short
Weave GitOps Run sends data to a local S3 bucket without encryption, allowing someone with access to the network traffic to intercept credentials and modify files that get applied to your Kubernetes cluster.
Technical detail
CVE-2022-23509 involves unencrypted communication (CWE-200) between GitOps Run and a local S3 bucket; an attacker with network access can intercept traffic to extract S3 credentials and subsequently alter bucket contents, leading to unauthorized modifications of Kubernetes cluster resources. The vulnerability affects versions prior to v0.12.0 and has been resolved through implementation of encrypted communication channels.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
Weave GitOps is a simple open source developer platform for people who want cloud native applications, without needing Kubernetes expertise. GitOps run has a local S3 bucket which it uses for synchronizing files that are later applied against a Kubernetes cluster. The communication between GitOps Run and the local S3 bucket is not encrypted. This allows privileged users or process to tap the local traffic to gain information permitting access to the s3 bucket. From that point, it would be possible to alter the bucket content, resulting in changes in the Kubernetes cluster's resources. There are no known workaround(s) for this vulnerability. This vulnerability has been fixed by commits ce2bbff and babd915. Users should upgrade to Weave GitOps version >= v0.12.0 released on 08/12/2022.
