High (8.1) in kubernetes ingress-nginx. EPSS 1.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in k8s.io/ingress-nginx 1.2.0.
A security issue was discovered in ingress-nginx where a user that can create or update ingress objects can use the spec.rules[].http.paths[].path field of an Ingress object (in the networking.k8s.io or extensions API group) to obtain the credentials of the ingress-nginx controller. In the default configuration, that credential has access to all secrets in the cluster.
