CVE-2020-8030

Cluster compromise via writable node-join temporary file

Published Feb 11, 2021 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Insecure temporary-file handling in SUSE CaaS Platform 4.5 allows local users to read or alter skuba node-join configuration. During a node join, skuba places configuration containing the bootstrapToken in /tmp and later processes that file without preventing other local users from reading or changing it. Exploitation requires local access while a node is joining and enables token disclosure or arbitrary machine and cluster configuration changes.
