{"cve":"CVE-2024-3177","nvd":{"published":"2024-04-22T23:15:51.180","modified":"2026-06-17T07:43:28.340","status":"Deferred","description":"A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes where users may be able to launch containers that bypass the mountable secrets policy enforced by the ServiceAccount admission plugin when using containers, init containers, and ephemeral containers with the envFrom field populated. The policy ensures pods running with a service account may only reference secrets specified in the service account’s secrets field. Kubernetes clusters are only affected if the ServiceAccount admission plugin and the kubernetes.io/enforce-mountable-secrets annotation are used together with containers, init containers, and ephemeral containers with the envFrom field populated.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","score":2.7},"cwes":["CWE-20"],"references":["https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/124336","https://groups.google.com/g/kubernetes-security-announce/c/JxjHf7fkVd8/m/oVCzypyOAQAJ","http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/04/16/4","https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/124336","https://groups.google.com/g/kubernetes-security-announce/c/JxjHf7fkVd8/m/oVCzypyOAQAJ"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:49:08.435428910+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-3177","score":0.02224,"percentile":0.827,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-pxhw-596r-rwq5","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-pxhw-596r-rwq5","summary":"Kubernetes allows bypassing mountable secrets policy imposed by the ServiceAccount admission plugin","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:12.868674238Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"k8s.io/kubernetes","purl":"pkg:golang/k8s.io/kubernetes","ranges":["<1.27.13"],"fixed":["1.27.13"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"k8s.io/kubernetes","purl":"pkg:golang/k8s.io/kubernetes","ranges":[">=1.29.0 <1.29.4"],"fixed":["1.29.4"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"k8s.io/kubernetes","purl":"pkg:golang/k8s.io/kubernetes","ranges":[">=1.28.0 <1.28.9"],"fixed":["1.28.9"]}]},{"id":"GO-2024-2746","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2024-2746","summary":"Kubernetes allows bypassing mountable secrets policy imposed by the ServiceAccount admission plugin in k8s.io/kubernetes","modified":"2026-02-04T03:50:36.073637Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"k8s.io/kubernetes","purl":"pkg:golang/k8s.io/kubernetes","ranges":["<1.27.13",">=1.28.0 <1.28.9",">=1.29.0 <1.29.4"],"fixed":["1.27.13","1.28.9","1.29.4"]}]}],"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).
