Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-07-10 19:15 - Updated: 2025-07-15 13:14
Severity ?
7.7 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
Headlamp is an extensible Kubernetes web UI. A command injection vulnerability was discovered in the codeSign.js script used in the macOS packaging workflow of the Kubernetes Headlamp project. This issue arises due to the improper use of Node.js's execSync() function with unsanitized input derived from environment variables, which can be influenced by an attacker. The variables ${teamID}, ${entitlementsPath}, and ${config.app} are dynamically derived from the environment or application config and passed directly to the shell command without proper escaping or argument separation. This exposes the system to command injection if any of the values contain malicious input. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.31.1.

Se descubri\u00f3 una vulnerabilidad de inyecci\u00f3n de comandos en el script codeSign.js utilizado en el flujo de trabajo de empaquetado de macOS del proyecto Headlamp de Kubernetes. Este problema surge debido al uso indebido de la funci\u00f3n execSync() de Node.js con entradas no depuradas derivadas de variables de entorno, que pueden ser influenciadas por un atacante. Las variables ${teamID}, ${entitlementsPath} y ${config.app} se derivan din\u00e1micamente de la configuraci\u00f3n del entorno o la aplicaci\u00f3n y se pasan directamente al comando de shell sin el escape ni la separaci\u00f3n de argumentos adecuados. Esto expone el sistema a la inyecci\u00f3n de comandos si alguno de los valores contiene informaci\u00f3n maliciosa. Esta vulnerabilidad se corrigi\u00f3 en la versi\u00f3n 0.31.1."
