getHostByName Function Information Disclosure
CVE: CVE-2023-25165
Component: helm
CWE: CWE-200
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 4.5/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
Release date: 2023-02-08T00:00:00+00:00

A flaw was found in the helm package. The 'getHostByName' is a Helm template function introduced in Helm v3 and can accept a hostname and return an IP address for that hostname. To get the IP address, the function performs a DNS lookup. The DNS lookup happens when used with 'helm install|upgrade|template' or when the Helm SDK is used to render a chart. Information passed into the chart can be disclosed to the DNS servers used to look up the IP address. For example, a malicious chart could inject getHostByName into a chart to disclose values to a malicious DNS server.
