An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-21400 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\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-2024-21400/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-21400/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-21400","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-21400/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-21400","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c49c-7xhw-623r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Azure Kubernetes Service","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit a path traversal flaw in Azure Kubernetes Service Confidential Containers to escalate privileges within the cloud environment.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"confcom","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service Confidential Container Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service Confidential Container Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-21400","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Microsoft Entra Jira Single-Sign-On Plugin Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-21401"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-21399"},"products":["Azure Kubernetes Service"],"published":"2024-03-12","related":[{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Microsoft ACI Confidential Containers Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-21522","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-10"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-03","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit a path traversal flaw in Azure Kubernetes Service Confidential Containers to escalate privileges within the cloud environment.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-21400/"}
