CVE-2021-20198
Estado: ModificadaAlta (8.1)—
A flaw was found in the OpenShift Installer before version v0.9.0-master.0.20210125200451-95101da940b0. During installation of OpenShift Container Platform 4 clusters, bootstrap nodes are provisioned with anonymous authentication enabled on kubelet port 10250. A remote attacker able to reach this port during installation can make unauthenticated `/exec` requests to execute arbitrary commands within running containers. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

Un atacante remoto capaz de llegar a este puerto durante la instalación puede realizar peticiones \"/exec\" no autenticadas para ejecutar comandos arbitrarios dentro de contenedores en ejecución. La mayor amenaza de esta vulnerabilidad es la confidencialidad e integridad de los datos, así como la disponibilidad del sistema"
