Vulnerability from cvelistv5

Severity ?
3.4 (Low) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N
Summary
In Helm before versions 2.16.11 and 3.3.2 plugin names are not sanitized properly. As a result, a malicious plugin author could use characters in a plugin name that would result in unexpected behavior, such as duplicating the name of another plugin or spoofing the output to `helm --help`. This issue has been patched in Helm 3.3.2. A possible workaround is to not install untrusted Helm plugins. Examine the `name` field in the `plugin.yaml` file for a plugin, looking for characters outside of the [a-zA-Z0-9._-] range.

As a result, a malicious plugin author could use characters in a plugin name that would result in unexpected behavior, such as duplicating the name of another plugin or spoofing the output to `helm --help`. This issue has been patched in Helm 3.3.2. A possible workaround is to not install untrusted Helm plugins. Examine the `name` field in the `plugin.yaml` file for a plugin, looking for characters outside of the [a-zA-Z0-9._-] range.\"},{\"lang\":\"es\",\"value\":\"En Helm versiones anteriores a 2.16.11 y 3.3.2, los nombres de los plugins no son saneados apropiadamente.&#xa0;Como resultado, un autor de plugin malicioso podría usar caracteres en un nombre de plugin que resultaría en un comportamiento inesperado, como duplicar el nombre de otro plugin o falsificar la salida en \\\"helm --help\\\".&#xa0;Este problema ha sido corregido en Helm versión 3.3.2.&#xa0;Una posible solución es no instalar plugins de Helm que no son de confianza.&#xa0;Examine el campo \\\"name\\\" en el archivo \\\"plugin.yaml\\\" en busca de un plugin, buscando caracteres fuera del rango [a-zA-Z0-9 ._-]\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N\",\"baseScore\":3.4,\"baseSeverity\":\"LOW\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"HIGH\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"NONE\",\"userInteraction\":\"REQUIRED\",\"scope\":\"CHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"LOW\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"NONE\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.6,\"impactScore\":1.4},{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N\",\"baseScore\":2.7,\"baseSeverity\":\"LOW\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"HIGH\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"LOW\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"NONE\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.2,\"impactScore\":1.4}],\"cvssMetricV2\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"2.0\",\"vectorString\":\"AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:N\",\"baseScore\":4.0,\"accessVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"accessComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"authentication\":\"SINGLE\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"PARTIAL\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"NONE\"},\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"exploitabilityScore\":8.0,\"impactScore\":2.9,\"acInsufInfo\":false,\"obtainAllPrivilege\":false,\"obtainUserPrivilege\":false,\"obtainOtherPrivilege\":false,\"userInteractionRequired\":false}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-20\"}]},{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-74\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:helm:helm:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"2.0.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"2.16.11\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"455BCCE5-1D43-4E59-9591-E84B52DAAF0B\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:helm:helm:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"3.0.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"3.3.2\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"B462D769-3FC0-4079-8B48-863F013662EF\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://github.com/helm/helm/commit/809e2d999e2c33e20e77f6bff30652d79c287542\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/helm/helm/security/advisories/GHSA-m54r-vrmv-hw33\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/helm/helm/commit/809e2d999e2c33e20e77f6bff30652d79c287542\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/helm/helm/security/advisories/GHSA-m54r-vrmv-hw33\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]}]}}",
