Cloudy infosec outfit Wiz has discovered serious vulnerabilities in the admission controller component of Ingress-Nginx Controller that could allow the total takeover of Kubernetes clusters.
More than 6,000 deployments of Ingress-Nginx Controller are at risk on the internet.
An attacker can execute arbitrary code and access all cluster secrets across namespaces, leading to complete cluster takeover.
Wiz recommends upgrading to the fixed versions or enforcing strict network policies and temporarily disabling the admission controller component of Ingress-Nginx for those unable to upgrade immediately.
