Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-03-17 18:31 – Updated: 2025-03-17 21:27

Summary

Openshift Hive Exposes VCenter Credentials via ClusterProvision

Details

A flaw was found in Hive, a component of Multicluster Engine (MCE) and Advanced Cluster Management (ACM). This vulnerability causes VCenter credentials to be exposed in the ClusterProvision object after provisioning a VSphere cluster. Users with read access to ClusterProvision objects can extract sensitive credentials even if they do not have direct access to Kubernetes Secrets. This issue can lead to unauthorized VCenter access, cluster management, and privilege escalation.

Severity ?

8.2 (High)

Rotate VCenter Credentials\n\nImmediately rotate VCenter credentials to revoke access for any users who may have already accessed the exposed credentials.\n\n3. Audit VCenter Users and Roles\n\nConduct a security audit of VCenter accounts and roles to detect any unauthorized access or configuration changes.\n\nIf any suspicious activity is found, revoke access by rotating credentials again (step 2) and taking necessary remediation actions."
