Summary
Server-side request forgery (ssrf) in Azure Data Factory allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information over a network. A flaw was found in cluster-backup-operator.
A namespace administrator with privileges in the open-cluster-management-backup namespace can exploit a feature in the Restore Custom Resource (CR). By setting the cleanupBeforeRestore field to CleanupAll, an attacker can trigger an unguarded, cluster-wide deletion of all Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (ACM) and Hive-labelled Secrets and ConfigMaps.
This leads to a denial of service across the entire hub cluster by removing critical resources. This vulnerability is rated as Important.
A namespace administrator within the `open-cluster-management-backup` namespace in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes can initiate a cluster-wide denial of service. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H).
