This high-severity Red Hat Linux advisory covers CVE-2024-45497 affecting Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.12, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.13, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.14.
Aggregated and source-linked by VulniPulse. Data sources, validation and limitations.
VulniPulse record published
Summary
A flaw was found in the OpenShift build process, where the docker-build container is configured with a hostPath volume mount that maps the node's /var/lib/kubelet/config.json file into the build pod. This file contains sensitive credentials necessary for pulling images from private repositories.
The mount is not read-only, which allows the attacker to overwrite it. By modifying the config.json file, the attacker can cause a denial of service by preventing the node from pulling new images and potentially exfiltrating sensitive secrets.
This flaw impacts the availability of services dependent on image pulls and exposes sensitive information to unauthorized parties. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7.6 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H).
Weakness: CWE-732.
Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.12; Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.13; Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.14; Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.16; Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.17; Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.18; Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.19; Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.20; Red Hat Fuse 7.
Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Fuse 7. Red Hat fixing advisory: RHSA-2025:10270, RHSA-2025:10747, RHSA-2025:9759, RHSA-2025:9765, RHSA-2025:10294, RHSA-2025:9269, RHSA-2025:9278, RHSA-2025:9562.
Is CVE-2024-45497 exploited?
No exploitation is reported in the sources VulniPulse tracks: CVE-2024-45497 is not in the CISA KEV catalog (checked ) and this advisory does not report exploitation. That is not proof the vulnerability cannot be exploited.
