AI-suggested
Red Hat advises reviewing all ProjectHelmChartRepository resources in tenant namespaces for unexpected URLs and applying NetworkPolicy egress restrictions to the openshift-console namespace, with allow-listing of required console egress targets. Administrators should verify the provenance of Helm charts before installation from namespace-scoped repositories. Additionally, restricting or disabling ProjectHelmChartRepository creation via RBAC for tenants that do not require custom Helm repositories is recommended.
Description
A Server-Side Request Forgery and supply chain flaw was found in the OpenShift Console Helm catalog proxy. A namespace tenant can plant a ProjectHelmChartRepository with an arbitrary URL that the console pod fetches server-side, bypassing tenant egress restrictions. Combined with catalog metadata poisoning and admin-mediated chart installation, this enables privilege escalation.
