CVSS Rating: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N - MEDIUM (6.5)

A security issue was discovered in azure-file-csi-driver where an actor with access to the driver logs could observe service account tokens. These tokens could then potentially be exchanged with external cloud providers to access secrets stored in cloud vault solutions. Tokens are only logged when TokenRequests is configured in the CSIDriver object and the driver is set to run at log level 2 or greater via the -v flag.

This issue has been rated MEDIUM CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N (6.5), and assigned CVE-2024-3744

Am I vulnerable?

You may be vulnerable if TokenRequests is configured in the CSIDriver object and the driver is set to run at log level 2 or greater via the -v flag.

To check if token requests are configured, run the following command:

kubectl get csidriver file.csi.azure.com -o jsonpath="{.spec.tokenRequests}"

To check if tokens are being logged, examine the secrets-store container log:

kubectl logs csi-azurefile-controller-56bfddd689-dh5tk -c azurefile -f | grep --line-buffered "csi.storage.k8s.io/serviceAccount.tokens"

Affected Versions

• azure-file-csi-driver <= v1.29.3
• azure-file-csi-driver v1.30.0

How do I mitigate this vulnerability?

Prior to upgrading, this vulnerability can be mitigated by running azure-file-csi-driver at log level 0 or 1 via the -v flag.

Fixed Versions

• azure-file-csi-driver v1.29.4
• azure-file-csi-driver v1.30.1

To upgrade, refer to the documentation: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/azurefile-csi-driver?tab=readme-ov-file#install-driver-on-a-kubernetes-cluster

Detection

Examine cloud provider logs for unexpected token exchanges, as well as unexpected access to cloud resources.
