Description

Improper neutralization of argument delimiters in the volume handling component in AWS EFS CSI Driver (aws-efs-csi-driver) v3.1.0 through v3.4.2 might allow remote authenticated users with PersistentVolume creation permissions to inject arbitrary mount options via comma-separated values in the mounttargetipmap volumeAttribute. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version v3.5.0 or later.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves improper neutralization of argument delimiters in the volume handling component of AWS EFS CSI Driver versions 3.1.0 through 3.4.2. It allows remote authenticated users with PersistentVolume creation permissions to inject arbitrary mount options via comma-separated values in the mounttargetipmap volumeAttribute.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check the version of the AWS EFS CSI Driver in your Kubernetes cluster. Run: kubectl get daemonset -n kube-system -l app=efs-csi-controller -o jsonpath='{.items[0].spec.template.spec.containers[0].image}'

Impact Analysis

An attacker with PersistentVolume creation permissions could inject malicious mount options, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data or privilege escalation within the Kubernetes cluster.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could potentially impact compliance with GDPR and HIPAA by allowing unauthorized access or privilege escalation through mount option injection. If exploited, it may lead to unauthorized data access or modification, violating confidentiality and integrity requirements under these regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade the AWS EFS CSI Driver to version v3.5.0 or later. Additionally, restrict PersistentVolume and StorageClass creation permissions to cluster administrators using Kubernetes RBAC.
