Mitigations

Установка обновлений из доверенных источников. В связи со сложившейся обстановкой и введенными санкциями против Российской Федерации рекомендуется устанавливать обновления программного обеспечения только после оценки всех сопутствующих рисков. Компенсирующие меры: - выполнение пересборки образов контейнеров, которые были сформированы с использованием уязвимых версий ПО; - задание значения переменной admin_password; - изменение пароля учётной записи администратора на затронутых виртуальных машинах: net user Administrator <new-password> - использование средств межсетевого экранирования для ограничения возможности удалённого доступа к виртуальной машине; - ограничение доступа к виртуальной машине из внешних сетей (Интернет).

CVE-2025-7342 (GCVE-0-2025-7342)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-08-17 23:03 – Updated: 2025-11-04 21:14

Title

VM images built with Kubernetes Image Builder Nutanix or OVA providers use default credentials for Windows images if user did not override

Summary

A security issue was discovered in the Kubernetes Image Builder where default credentials are enabled during the Windows image build process when using the Nutanix or VMware OVA providers. These credentials, which allow root access, are disabled at the conclusion of the build. Kubernetes clusters are only affected if their nodes use VM images created via the Image Builder project and the vulnerability was exploited during the build process, which requires an attacker to access the build VM and modify the image while the build is in progress.

Severity

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
