Ironic and ironic-inspector may expose as ConfigMaps
Date: 2023-04
Affected: go/github.com/metal3-io/baremetal-operator
Attack vector: info-disclosure
Category: vulnerability-disclosure
Severity: Medium
CVE: CVE-2023-30841
CWE: CWE-200
CWE-319
CVSS: 6 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N)

### Impact Ironic and ironic-inspector deployed within Baremetal Operator using the included `deploy.sh` store their `.htpasswd` files as ConfigMaps instead of Secrets. This causes the plain-text username and hashed password to be readable by anyone having a cluster-wide read-access to the management cluster, or access to the management cluster's Etcd storage. ### Patches This issue is patched in [baremetal-operator PR#1241](https://github.com/metal3-io/baremetal-operator/pull/1241), and is included in BMO release 0.3.0 onwards. ### Workarounds User may modify the kustomizations and redeploy the BMO, or recreate the required ConfigMaps as Secrets per instructions in [baremetal-operator PR#1241](https://github.com/metal3-io/baremetal-operator/pull/1241)
