Executive Summary

This is an OS command injection vulnerability in Eclipse Foundation Eclipse Otterdog through version 1.7.1. It affects the pass and Bitwarden credential providers. An attacker who can modify an organization's configuration can inject arbitrary commands that execute with the privileges of the Otterdog operator when otterdog apply is run. The attack occurs via crafted secret references or credential identifiers that are resolved during execution.

Detection Guidance

Check if Otterdog versions prior to 1.8.0 are installed by running: otterdog --version. If the version is <=1.7.1, the system is vulnerable. Inspect configuration files for pass: or bitwarden: references in secrets. Monitor for unexpected command execution when otterdog apply is run.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on your system with the same privileges as the Otterdog operator. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, including credentials stored in the operator's vault. The attacker could potentially steal GitHub tokens or other privileged access tokens if they are accessible.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, which may violate compliance requirements under GDPR (data protection) and HIPAA (health information privacy). Unauthorized command execution could result in data breaches, exposing personal or health information and leading to regulatory penalties.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Otterdog to version 1.8.0 or later immediately. Disable the pass and bitwarden credential providers in Otterdog configuration if not required. Review and audit all secret references in organization configurations for suspicious entries.
