Title

Уязвимость компонента Hive программного обеспечения управления кластерами Kubernetes Multicluster Engine (MCE) и Advanced Cluster Management (ACM), позволяющая нарушителю получить несанкционированный доступ к учетным данным VCenter

Description

Уязвимость компонента Hive программного обеспечения управления кластерами Kubernetes Multicluster Engine (MCE) и Advanced Cluster Management (ACM) связана с незащищённым хранением конфиденциальной информации. Эксплуатация уязвимости может позволить нарушителю, действующему удаленно, получить несанкционированный доступ к учетным данным VCenter путем отправки специально сформированных запросов к прикладному программному интерфейсу Kubernetes

Severity


                    
                      AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N

Vendor

Red Hat Inc.

Software Name

multicluster engine for Kubernetes, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2

Software Version

- (multicluster engine for Kubernetes), - (Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2)

Possible Mitigations

Компенсирующие меры: - настройка механизма разграничения доступа, например Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), для ограничения доступа к объектам ClusterProvision; - использование средств межсетевого экранирования для ограничения возможности удалённого доступа к уязвимому программному обеспечению; - использование «белого» списка IP-адресов для ограничения доступа к уязвимому программному обеспечению; - использование SIEM-систем для отслеживания попыток эксплуатации уязвимости; - использование средств обнаружения и предотвращения вторжений (IDS/IPS) для выявления и реагирования на попытки эксплуатации уязвимости.

CVE-2025-2241 (GCVE-0-2025-2241)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-03-17 16:27 – Updated: 2026-08-21 17:39

Title

Hive: exposure of vcenter credentials via clusterprovision in hive / mce / acm

Summary

A flaw was found in Hive, a component of Multicluster Engine (MCE) and Advanced Cluster Management (ACM). This vulnerability causes VCenter credentials to be exposed in the ClusterProvision object after provisioning a VSphere cluster. Users with read access to ClusterProvision objects can extract sensitive credentials even if they do not have direct access to Kubernetes Secrets. This issue can lead to unauthorized VCenter access, cluster management, and privilege escalation.

Severity

Rotate VCenter Credentials\n\nImmediately rotate VCenter credentials to revoke access for any users who may have already accessed the exposed credentials.\n\n3. Audit VCenter Users and Roles\n\nConduct a security audit of VCenter accounts and roles to detect any unauthorized access or configuration changes.\n\nIf any suspicious activity is found, revoke access by rotating credentials again (step 2) and taking necessary remediation actions."

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
