AI-suggested
This vulnerability is fixed in Fission version 1.24.0. Users should upgrade to v1.24.0 or later to apply the official fix. The fix includes enhanced webhook validation for create and update operations, strict enforcement that spec.namespace matches the trigger's namespace, and defaulting empty spec.namespace to the trigger's own namespace. No additional mitigation is required once upgraded. For users relying on the previous behavior where an unset spec.namespace watched all namespaces, separate KubernetesWatchTriggers per namespace must now be created.
Description
A vulnerability in Fission's KubernetesWatchTrigger (KWT) allowed a low-privilege developer to create triggers in their own namespace that could watch events across all namespaces, enabling persistent cross-namespace surveillance. The issue arose from improper validation of the spec.namespace field and insufficient webhook validation on update operations. This allowed attackers to receive full event payloads for Pods, Services, and Jobs cluster-wide without additional privileges. The vulnerability was fixed in version 1.24.0 by enforcing namespace validation and extending webhook checks.
