Dell Patches Six Critical Flaws in Container Storage Modules for Kubernetes
Dell has fixed six vulnerabilities in its Container Storage Modules that integrate storage systems with Kubernetes clusters. Two of the issues received the maximum CVSS score of 10.0, allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain full administrative credentials for registered storage backends. Additional flaws enable privilege escalation to root on cluster nodes, exposure of hardcoded credentials, and leakage of Kubernetes secrets across the entire cluster. All versions prior to 1.17.0 are affected, with the fixes delivered in version 1.18.0. No workarounds exist, and Dell recommends rotating JWT signing keys after applying the update because the previous keys must be considered compromised.
