An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-3294 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes (Go): affected from 1.22.0; fixed in 1.22.16\n- github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes (Go): affected from 1.22.0; fixed in 1.22.16\n- github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes (Go): affected from 1.23.0; fixed in 1.23.14\n- github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes (Go): affected from 1.23.0; fixed in 1.23.14\n- github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes (Go): affected from 1.24.0; fixed in 1.24.8\n- github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes (Go): affected from 1.24.0; fixed in 1.24.8\n- github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes (Go): affected from 1.25.0; fixed in 1.25.4\n- github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes (Go): affected from 1.25.0; fixed in 1.25.4\n- k8s.io/kubernetes (Go): affected from 1.22.0; fixed in 1.22.16, 1.23.14, 1.24.8, 1.25.4\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-3294/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-3294/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-3294","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-3294/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-3294","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-3294","GHSA-jh36-q97c-9928","GO-2023-1629","RHBA-2023:0452","openSUSE-SU-2024:12737-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Kubernetes control plane","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can bypass node proxy validation to access private network endpoints in the Kubernetes control plane.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"ssrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"kubernetes","cpe":[{"product":"kubernetes","vendor":"kubernetes"}],"cvss":{"score":6.6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Users may have access to secure endpoints in the control plane network. Kubernetes clusters are only affected if an untrusted user can modify Node objects and send proxy requests to them. Kubernetes supports node proxying, which allows clients of kube-apiserver to access endpoints of a Kubelet to establish connections to Pods, retrieve container logs, and more. While Kubernetes already validates the proxying address for Nodes, a bug in kube-apiserver made it possible to bypass this validation. Bypassing this validation could allow authenticated requests destined for Nodes to to the API server's private network.","ecosystems":["Go","Red Hat:openshift:4.12::el8"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-01-14","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-01-14T04:17:28Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/arbaaz29/CVE-2022-3294","stars":0,"title":"Privilege Escalation using nodes/proxy (create action allowed) and nodes/status (update/patch actions allowed)"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Node address isn't always verified when proxying","id":"CVE-2022-3294","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Go","product":"kubernetes:kubernetes","products":["kubernetes:kubernetes"],"type":"ssrf","year":"2022"},"n_packages":10,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in ikus060/rdiffweb","id":"CVE-2022-3295"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.22.16"],"introduced":["1.22.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jh36-q97c-9928"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.22.16"],"introduced":["1.22.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes","source":"GHSA-jh36-q97c-9928"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.23.14"],"introduced":["1.23.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jh36-q97c-9928"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.23.14"],"introduced":["1.23.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes","source":"GHSA-jh36-q97c-9928"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.24.8"],"introduced":["1.24.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jh36-q97c-9928"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.24.8"],"introduced":["1.24.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes","source":"GHSA-jh36-q97c-9928"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.25.4"],"introduced":["1.25.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jh36-q97c-9928"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.25.4"],"introduced":["1.25.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes","source":"GHSA-jh36-q97c-9928"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.22.16","1.23.14","1.24.8","1.25.4"],"introduced":["1.22.0","1.23.0","1.24.0","1.25.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"k8s.io/kubernetes","purl":"pkg:golang/k8s.io/kubernetes","source":"GO-2023-1629"},{"ecosystem":"Red Hat:openshift:4.12::el8","fixed":["0:4.12.1-202301261525.p0.g3db9e81.assembly.4.12.1.el8"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"microshift","purl":"pkg:rpm/redhat/microshift","source":"RHBA-2023:0452"}],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in GitLab","id":"CVE-2022-3293"},"products":["Kubernetes"],"published":"2023-03-01","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation in Kubernetes","id":"CVE-2018-1002105","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Kubernetes Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2017-1000056","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Authorization bypass in Openshift","id":"CVE-2016-1906","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-02-03"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Kubernetes -
