What is CVE-2024-12582?
CVE-2024-12582 is a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in Red Hat Service Interconnect 1, published on 24 Dec 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
A flaw was found in the skupper console, a read-only interface that renders cluster network, traffic details, and metrics for a network application that a user sets up across a hybrid multi-cloud environment. When the default authentication method is used, a random password is generated for the "admin" user and is persisted in either a Kubernetes secret or a podman volume in a plaintext file. This authentication method can be manipulated by an attacker, leading to the reading of any user-readable file in the container filesystem, directly impacting data confidentiality. Additionally, the attacker may induce skupper to read extremely large files into memory, resulting in resource exhaustion and a denial of service attack.
Weakness: CWE-305
