CVE-2025-47281

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.7)—

Kyverno is a policy engine designed for cloud native platform engineering teams. In versions 1.14.1 and below, a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists due to improper handling of JMESPath variable substitutions. Attackers with permissions to create or update Kyverno policies can craft expressions using the {{@}} variable combined with a pipe and an invalid JMESPath function (e.g., {{@ | non_existent_function }}). This leads to a nil value being substituted into the policy structure.

Subsequent processing by internal functions, specifically getValueAsStringMap, which expect string values, results in a panic due to a type assertion failure (interface {} is nil, not string). This crashes Kyverno worker threads in the admission controller and causes continuous crashes of the reports controller pod. This is fixed in version 1.14.2.

Esto provoca la sustitución de un valor nulo en la estructura de la política. El procesamiento posterior por funciones internas, en concreto getValueAsStringMap, que esperan valores de cadena, genera un pánico debido a un error en la aserción de tipo (la interfaz {} es nula, no de cadena). Esto bloquea los subprocesos de trabajo de Kyverno en el controlador de admisión y provoca bloqueos continuos del pod del controlador de informes. Esto se ha corregido en la versión 1.14.2."
