{"cve":"CVE-2023-28114","nvd":{"published":"2023-03-22T19:15:12.020","modified":"2026-06-17T05:46:54.137","status":"Modified","description":"`cilium-cli` is the command line interface to install, manage, and troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters running Cilium. Prior to version 0.13.2,`cilium-cli`, when used to configure cluster mesh functionality, can remove the enforcement of user permissions on the `etcd` store used to mirror local cluster information to remote clusters. Users who have set up cluster meshes using the Cilium Helm chart are not affected by this issue.\n\nDue to an incorrect mount point specification, the settings specified by the `initContainer` that configures `etcd` users and their permissions are overwritten when using `cilium-cli` to configure a cluster mesh. An attacker who has already gained access to a valid key and certificate for an `etcd` cluster compromised in this manner could then modify state in that `etcd` cluster.\n\nThis issue is patched in `cilium-cli` 0.13.2. As a workaround, one may use Cilium's Helm charts to create their cluster.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N","score":4.1},"cwes":["CWE-280","CWE-755"],"references":["https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/cilium/cilium","https://github.com/cilium/cilium-cli/commit/fb1427025764e1eebc4a7710d902c4f22cae2610","https://github.com/cilium/cilium-cli/releases/tag/v0.13.2","https://github.com/cilium/cilium-cli/security/advisories/GHSA-6f27-3p6c-p5jc","https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/cilium/cilium"],"products":["cilium:cilium-cli"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:37:48.383111019+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-28114","score":0.00192,"percentile":0.08855,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-6f27-3p6c-p5jc","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-6f27-3p6c-p5jc","summary":"`cilium-cli` disables etcd authorization for clustermesh clusters","modified":"2026-09-10T03:49:52.790409539Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/cilium/cilium-cli","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/cilium/cilium-cli","ranges":["<0.13.2"],"fixed":["0.13.2"]}]},{"id":"GO-2023-1653","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2023-1653","summary":"`cilium-cli` disables etcd authorization for clustermesh clusters in github.com/cilium/cilium-cli","modified":"2026-03-03T04:53:31.234628Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/cilium/cilium-cli","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/cilium/cilium-cli","ranges":["<0.13.2"],"fixed":["0.13.2"]}]}],"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).
