{"cve":"CVE-2023-30841","nvd":{"published":"2023-04-26T19:15:09.140","modified":"2026-06-17T05:55:45.040","status":"Modified","description":"Baremetal Operator (BMO) is a bare metal host provisioning integration for Kubernetes. Prior to version 0.3.0, ironic and ironic-inspector deployed within Baremetal Operator using the included `deploy.sh` store their `.htpasswd` files as ConfigMaps instead of Secrets. This causes the plain-text username and hashed password to be readable by anyone having a cluster-wide read-access to the management cluster, or access to the management cluster's Etcd storage. This issue is patched in baremetal-operator PR#1241, and is included in BMO release 0.3.0 onwards. As a workaround, users may modify the kustomizations and redeploy the BMO, or recreate the required ConfigMaps as Secrets per instructions in baremetal-operator PR#1241.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-319","CWE-200"],"references":["https://github.com/metal3-io/baremetal-operator/pull/1241","https://github.com/metal3-io/baremetal-operator/security/advisories/GHSA-9wh7-397j-722m","https://github.com/metal3-io/baremetal-operator/pull/1241","https://github.com/metal3-io/baremetal-operator/security/advisories/GHSA-9wh7-397j-722m"],"products":["linuxfoundation:baremetal_operator"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:38:05.473481323+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-30841","score":0.00191,"percentile":0.08827,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-9wh7-397j-722m","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-9wh7-397j-722m","summary":"Ironic and ironic-inspector may expose as ConfigMaps","modified":"2023-11-08T04:12:27.263669Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/metal3-io/baremetal-operator","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/metal3-io/baremetal-operator","ranges":["<0.3.0"],"fixed":["0.3.0"]}]}],"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).
