Technical details
The Fission Environment Custom Resource Definition (CRD) improperly handled 'spec.runtime.podSpec' and 'spec.builder.podSpec' fields, merging them into Kubernetes pod specs without validation or filtering. An attacker with 'create' or 'update' RBAC permissions on 'environments.fission.io' could inject dangerous fields such as 'hostNetwork', 'hostPID', 'hostIPC', and 'privileged: true'. Because Fission-managed namespaces lacked Pod Security Admission enforcement, these pods were successfully scheduled. This allows an attacker to use 'nsenter' to escape to the host, access cloud-metadata credentials, and achieve full node compromise. The fix in v1.24.0 introduces an admission denylist and sanitization at the merge layer.
