Description
Yoke is a Helm-inspired infrastructure-as-code (IaC) package deployer. In 0.19.0 and earlier, a vulnerability exists in the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) component of Yoke. It allows users with CR create/update permissions to execute arbitrary WASM code in the ATC controller context by injecting a malicious URL through the overrides.yoke.cd/flight annotation. The ATC controller downloads and executes the WASM module without proper URL validation, enabling attackers to create arbitrary Kubernetes resources or potentially escalate privileges to cluster-admin level.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability exists in the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) component of Yoke, a Helm-inspired infrastructure-as-code package deployer. In versions 0.19.0 and earlier, users with create or update permissions on custom resources (CR) can exploit this flaw by injecting a malicious URL through the overrides.yoke.cd/flight annotation.

The ATC controller downloads and executes a WebAssembly (WASM) module from the provided URL without properly validating it. This allows attackers to execute arbitrary WASM code in the controller's context.

As a result, attackers can create arbitrary Kubernetes resources or potentially escalate their privileges to cluster-admin level.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

This vulnerability can have severe impacts including unauthorized execution of arbitrary code within the Kubernetes cluster.

Attackers can create arbitrary Kubernetes resources, which may lead to unauthorized access, data manipulation, or disruption of services.

Additionally, the vulnerability may allow privilege escalation to cluster-admin level, giving attackers full control over the Kubernetes cluster.

Overall, this can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your Kubernetes environment.
