Vulnerability Data

A vulnerability was found in OpenShift AI that allows for authentication bypass and privilege escalation across models within the same namespace. When deploying AI models, the UI provides the option to protect models with authentication. However, credentials from one model…

can be used to access other models and APIs within the same namespace. The exposed ServiceAccount tokens, visible in the UI, can be utilized with oc --token={token} to exploit the elevated view privileges associated with the ServiceAccount, leading to unauthorized access to additional resources.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

IA-2 Identification and Authentication (Organizational Users) good match

Requires unique identification and authentication of users, structurally blocking bypass of the mechanism.

IA-8 Identification and Authentication (Non-organizational Users) good match

Requires unique identification and authentication of non-organizational users, blocking bypass paths.

AC-3 Access Enforcement partial match

Enforces approved authorizations so a bypass weakness cannot be exploited to reach resources.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect authentication bypass conditions before deployment.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle reduces likelihood of introducing bypass flaws during implementation.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match

Secure coding practices help prevent the primary weakness that enables authentication bypass.

A.8.3 Information access restriction partial match
mitigates

Information access restriction complements authentication by limiting what can be reached even if bypass occurs.

A.8.5 Secure authentication partial match
prevents

Secure authentication mechanisms directly address bypass risks in the implemented authentication process.
