Issue Details
A security issue was identified in ingress-nginx where the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet annotation on an Ingress object (in the networking.k8s.io or extensions API group) can be used to inject arbitrary commands, and obtain the credentials of the ingress-nginx controller. In the default configuration, that credential has access to all secrets in the cluster.
**This issue has been rated High **(CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L), and assigned CVE-2023-5043.
Affected Components and Configurations
This bug affects ingress-nginx. If you do not have ingress-nginx installed on your cluster, you are not affected. You can check this by running kubectl get po -n ingress-nginx.
If you are running the “chrooted” ingress-nginx controller introduced in v1.2.0 (gcr.io/k8s-staging-ingress-nginx/controller-chroot), command execution is possible but credential extraction is not, so the High severity does not apply.
Multi-tenant environments where non-admin users have permissions to create Ingress objects are most affected by this issue.
Affected Versions
<v1.9.0
Versions allowing mitigation
v1.9.0
Mitigation
Ingress Administrators should set the --enable-annotation-validation flag to enforce restrictions on the contents of ingress-nginx annotation fields.
Detection
If you find evidence that this vulnerability has been exploited, please contact secu...@kubernetes.io

Los proveedores de nube construyen infraestructura física impresionante y resiliente, pero no pueden hacer que la geopolítica o la física sean irrelevantes. Una región puede caerse por horas, meses o para siempre. Tu arquitectura debería asumir esa posibilidad y ubicar los datos en consecuencia.
En ciberseguridad no se compite, se colabora. La propuesta de Vulnerable.cl —hecha en Chile y liberada para la comunidad— va en esa línea: una herramienta gratuita que respeta la privacidad de tu configuración y te entrega una revisión rápida de hardening.
