{"cve":"CVE-2019-10223","nvd":{"published":"2019-11-05T12:15:10.070","modified":"2026-06-17T02:10:31.720","status":"Modified","description":"A security issue was discovered in the kube-state-metrics versions v1.7.0 and v1.7.1. An experimental feature was added to the v1.7.0 release that enabled annotations to be exposed as metrics. By default, the kube-state-metrics metrics only expose metadata about Secrets. However, a combination of the default `kubectl` behavior and this new feature can cause the entire secret content to end up in metric labels thus inadvertently exposing the secret content in metrics. This feature has been reverted and released as the v1.7.2 release. If you are running the v1.7.0 or v1.7.1 release, please upgrade to the v1.7.2 release as soon as possible.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":6.5},"cwes":["CWE-200"],"references":["http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2019/08/15/8","https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10223","https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-state-metrics/releases/tag/v1.7.2","https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2019/08/09/1","http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2019/08/15/8"],"products":["kubernetes:kube-state-metrics","redhat:openshift_container_platform"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:59:25.448946135+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2019-10223","score":0.0178,"percentile":0.78248,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-c92w-72c5-9x59","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-c92w-72c5-9x59","summary":"kube-state-metrics may expose secret content in metrics","modified":"2023-11-08T04:00:43.469724Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"k8s.io/kube-state-metrics","purl":"pkg:golang/k8s.io/kube-state-metrics","ranges":[">=1.7.0 <1.7.2"],"fixed":["1.7.2"]}]},{"id":"GO-2022-0621","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2022-0621","summary":"Exposure of sensitive information in k8s.io/kube-state-metrics","modified":"2024-05-20T16:03:47Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"k8s.io/kube-state-metrics","purl":"pkg:golang/k8s.io/kube-state-metrics","ranges":[">=1.7.0 <1.7.2"],"fixed":["1.7.2"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
