Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-653

Weakness Allowed

Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization

Abstraction: Class · Status: Draft

The product does not properly compartmentalize or isolate functionality, processes, or resources that require different privilege levels, rights, or permissions.

Dimensions

  • Behavior-Type: Isolation
  • Behavior-Property: Compartmentalization
  • Resource-Type: Improper
Mapping guidance

This CWE entry is at the Base level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.

Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.

COMMISSION: This weakness refers to an incorrect design related to an architectural security tactic.

Implementation
Detection methods

Automated Static Analysis - Binary or Bytecode

According to SOAR, the following detection techniques may be useful:

Cost effective for partial coverage:

Compare binary / bytecode to application permission manifest

Effectiveness: SOAR Partial

Manual Static Analysis - Source Code

According to SOAR, the following detection techniques may be useful:

Highly cost effective:

Manual Source Code Review (not inspections)

Cost effective for partial coverage:

Focused Manual Spotcheck - Focused manual analysis of source

Effectiveness: High

Architecture or Design Review

According to SOAR, the following detection techniques may be useful:

Highly cost effective:

Inspection (IEEE 1028 standard) (can apply to requirements, design, source code, etc.)

Formal Methods / Correct-By-Construction

Cost effective for partial coverage:

Attack Modeling

Effectiveness: High

Notes

Relationship

There is a close association with CWE-250 (Execution with Unnecessary Privileges). CWE-653 is about providing separate components for each "privilege"; CWE-250 is about ensuring that each component has the least amount of privileges possible. In this fashion, compartmentalization becomes one mechanism for reducing privileges.

Terminology

The term "Separation of Privilege" is used in several different ways in the industry, but they generally combine two closely related principles: compartmentalization (this node) and using only one factor in a security decision (CWE-654). Proper compartmentalization implicitly introduces multiple factors into a security decision, but there can be cases in which multiple factors are required for authentication or other mechanisms that do not involve compartmentalization, such as performing all required checks on a submitted certificate. It is likely that CWE-653 and CWE-654 will provoke further discussion.

GHSA-C98H-7HP9-V9HQ

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-03-17 21:26 – Updated: 2025-03-19 14:59
VLAI
Summary
Bare Metal Operator (BMO) can expose any secret from other namespaces via BMCEventSubscription CRD
Details

Impact

The Bare Metal Operator (BMO) implements a Kubernetes API for managing bare metal hosts in Metal3.

Baremetal Operator enables users to load Secret from arbitrary namespaces upon deployment of the namespace scoped Custom Resource BMCEventSubscription (BMCES). An adversary Kubernetes account with only namespace level roles (e.g. a tenant controlling a namespace) may create a BMCES in their authorized namespace and then load Secrets from their unauthorized namespaces to their authorized namespace via the Baremetal Operator controller's cluster scoped privileges, causing Secret leakage.

Patches

The patch makes BMO refuse to read Secrets from other namespace than where the corresponding Bare Metal Host (BMH) resource is. The patch does not change the BMCEventSubscription API in BMO, but stricter validation will deny the request at admission time. It will also prevent the controller reading such Secrets, in case the BMCES resource has already been deployed.

The issue exists for all versions of BMO, and is patched in BMO releases v0.9.1 and v0.8.1. Prior upgrading to patched BMO version, duplicate any existing Secret pointed to by BMCEventSubscription's httpHeadersRef to the same namespace where the corresponding BMH exists. After upgrade, remove the old Secrets.

Workarounds

Operator can configure BMO RBAC to be namespace scoped, instead of cluster scoped, to prevent BMO from accessing Secrets from other namespaces, and/or use WATCH_NAMESPACE configuration option to limit BMO to single namespace.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-27 00:31 – Updated: 2026-03-27 00:31
VLAI
Details

A flaw was found in Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI) llama-stack-operator. This vulnerability allows unauthorized access to Llama Stack services deployed in other namespaces via direct network requests, because no NetworkPolicy restricts access to the llama-stack service endpoint. As a result, a user in one namespace can access another user’s Llama Stack instance and potentially view or manipulate sensitive data.

GHSA-FCQC-726X-5WFC

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-05 22:34 – Updated: 2026-10-05 22:34
VLAI
Summary
vm2: Sandboxed code can read and write host-realm memory via Node's shared Buffer pool
Details

Summary

Sandboxed code is able to disclose host memory used by small allocations by Buffer.from, Buffer.concat.

Details

vm2 exposes Buffer object to sandboxed code by default. Small Buffer allocations (for example, Buffer.allocUnsafe(), Buffer.from(array), Buffer.from(string), and Buffer.concat()) use the same Buffer pool, which is shared with the sandbox. This allows sandboxed code to disclose host memory used by the functions listed above.

PoC

Tested against vm2@3.11.5 in the node REPL.

Buffer.from('host-memory-should-not-leak-to-sandbox')
new (require('vm2').VM)().run(`Buffer.from(Buffer.from([0]).buffer, 0, Buffer.from([0]).buffer.byteLength).toString('ascii')`)

Screenshot 2026-07-23 at 17 54 15

Impact

Since sandbox acquires an ArrayBuffer that is used by the host, it can disclose sensitive data going through functions mentioned above and even write to these buffers, which can lead to sensitive data exposure and potentially denial-of-service.

Details

The sandbox that isolates document conversion on a Kiteworks appliance did not fully confine the code running inside it. Code already executing within that sandbox could potentially escape its confinement and act with the privileges of the service account that runs the application, which could allow an attacker in that position to read or modify application data and configuration, or to disrupt the service on the affected appliance.

GHSA-FWCW-WMG8-R4VQ

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-04-12 18:33 – Updated: 2026-01-23 18:31
VLAI
Details

An Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (pfe) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on QFX5000 Series and EX Series allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).

If a specific malformed LACP packet is received by a QFX5000 Series, or an EX4400, EX4100 or EX4650 Series device, an LACP flap will occur resulting in traffic loss. This issue affects Junos OS on QFX5000 Series, and on EX4400, EX4100 or EX4650 Series:

  • 20.4 versions from

20.4R3-S4

before 20.4R3-S8, * 21.2 versions from

21.2R3-S2

before 21.2R3-S6, * 21.4 versions from

21.4R2

before 21.4R3-S4,

  • 22.1 versions from

22.1R2

before 22.1R3-S3, * 22.2 versions before 22.2R3-S1, * 22.3 versions before 22.3R2-S2, 22.3R3, * 22.4 versions before 22.4R2-S1, 22.4R3.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Break up privileges between different modules, objects, or entities. Minimize the interfaces between modules and require strong access control between them.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
