CVE-2025-13888

Estado: AplazadaCrítica (9.1)—

A flaw was found in OpenShift GitOps. Namespace admins can create ArgoCD Custom Resources (CRs) that trick the system into granting them elevated permissions in other namespaces, including privileged namespaces. An authenticated attacker can then use these elevated permissions to create privileged workloads that run on master nodes, effectively giving them root access to the entire cluster.

CVSS

Versión: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Puntuación base: 9.1

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.69%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 51
Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

ExplotaciónT1210 Exploitation of Remote Serviceslateral movement85 %
Impacto principalT1068 Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation90 %
Impacto secundarioT1059 Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution85 %

Vulnerabilidad remota que requiere autenticación (PR:H) en servicios de Kubernetes. El atacante escalas privilegios en otras namespaces y ejecuta cargas de trabajo privilegiadas en nodos master, logrando acceso root al cluster.
