node localhost services reachable via martian packets
CVE: CVE-2020-8558
Component: kubernetes
CWE: CWE-300
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 5.3/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N
Release date: 2020-07-08T00:00:00+00:00

A flaw was found in Kubernetes that allows attackers on adjacent networks to reach services exposed on localhost ports, previously thought to be unreachable. This flaw allows an attacker to gain privileges or access confidential information for any services listening on localhost ports that are not protected by authentication.

Statement: OpenShift Container Platform does not expose the API server on a localhost port without authentication. The only service exposed on a localhost port not protected by authentication is Metrics, which exposes some cluster metadata.
