CVE-2023-51699

Severity Medium
Score 4/10

Summary

Fluid is an open source Kubernetes-native Distributed Dataset Orchestrator and Accelerator for data-intensive applications. An OS Command Injection vulnerability within the Fluid project's "JuicefsRuntime" can potentially allow an authenticated user, who has the authority to create or update the K8s CRD "Dataset/JuicefsRuntime", to execute arbitrary OS commands within the juicefs related containers. This could lead to unauthorized access, modification or deletion of data. This vulnerability affects github.com/fluid-cloudnative/fluid package versions 0.7.0 through 0.9.2. Users who're using affected versions with "JuicefsRuntime" should upgrade should upgrade to a fixed version.

CWE-78 - OS Command Injection

The OS command injection weakness (also known as shell injection) is a vulnerability which enables an attacker to run arbitrary OS commands on a server. This is done by modifying the intended downstream OS command and injecting arbitrary commands, enabling the execution of unauthorized OS commands. This has the potential to fully compromise the application along with all of its data, and, if the compromised process does not follow the principle of least privileges, it may compromise other parts of the hosting infrastructure as well. This weakness is listed as number ten in the 'CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses'.
