{"cve":"CVE-2023-29018","nvd":{"published":"2023-04-14T19:15:09.187","modified":"2026-06-17T05:49:12.033","status":"Modified","description":"The OpenFeature Operator allows users to expose feature flags to applications. Assuming the pre-existence of a vulnerability that allows for arbitrary code execution, an attacker could leverage the lax permissions configured on `open-feature-operator-controller-manager` to escalate the privileges of any SA in the cluster. The increased privileges could be used to modify cluster state, leading to DoS, or read sensitive data, including secrets. Version 0.2.32 mitigates this issue by restricting the resources the `open-feature-operator-controller-manager` can modify.","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:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-269"],"references":["https://github.com/open-feature/open-feature-operator/releases/tag/v0.2.32","https://github.com/open-feature/open-feature-operator/security/advisories/GHSA-cwf6-xj49-wp83","https://github.com/open-feature/open-feature-operator/releases/tag/v0.2.32","https://github.com/open-feature/open-feature-operator/security/advisories/GHSA-cwf6-xj49-wp83"],"products":["linuxfoundation:openfeature"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:38:05.473481323+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-29018","score":0.00659,"percentile":0.51522,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-cwf6-xj49-wp83","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-cwf6-xj49-wp83","summary":" OpenFeature Operator vulnerable to Cluster-level Privilege Escalation","modified":"2024-08-20T20:58:42.485790Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/open-feature/open-feature-operator","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/open-feature/open-feature-operator","ranges":["<0.2.32"],"fixed":["0.2.32"]}]},{"id":"GO-2023-1721","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2023-1721","summary":"OpenFeature Operator vulnerable to Cluster-level Privilege Escalation in github.com/open-feature/open-feature-operator","modified":"2026-03-03T04:53:37.172173Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/open-feature/open-feature-operator","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/open-feature/open-feature-operator","ranges":["<0.2.32"],"fixed":["0.2.32"]}]}],"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).
