AI-suggested

A fix is available in Fission version 1.24.0, which adds validation for standalone container SecurityContext fields and sanitizes them during merging. Until upgrading, restrict Environment create/update RBAC permissions to trusted administrators only. Additionally, deploy admission policies (e.g., Kyverno or OPA Gatekeeper) to reject dangerous SecurityContext settings on Environment CRDs, or enforce Kubernetes Pod Security Standards with labels such as pod-security.kubernetes.io/enforce: restricted on function and builder namespaces.

Description

A security vulnerability in Fission's Environment CRD allows bypassing PodSpec hardening controls by exploiting the standalone Runtime.Container and Builder.Container SecurityContext fields. This flaw permits creation of privileged pods or containers with dangerous capabilities, potentially enabling container escape and cluster compromise. The issue arises because validation and sanitization functions do not cover these standalone container fields, allowing attackers with Environment create/update RBAC to escalate privileges. The vulnerability is fixed in Fission version 1.24.0.
