CVE-2022-47633: Kyverno's container image signature verification can be bypassed by a malicious registry or proxy

Security researchers at ARMO have found a high-severity vulnerability in the Kyverno admission controller container image signature verification mechanism. The vulnerability enables an attacker who is either running a malicious container image registry or is able to act as a proxy between the registry and Kyverno, to inject unsigned images into the protected cluster, bypassing the image verification policy. The vulnerability was introduced in version 1.8.3 and was fixed in version 1.8.5.

Comparing the Leading Tools That Scan Against the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark Framework

CIS Benchmarks are a focused set of guidelines for the secure configuration, vulnerability detection, and threat remediation of distributed workloads. In this article, we compare the leading tools that scan against the CIS Kubernetes benchmark framework. Security frameworks help modern software organizations define their risk management processes and platform requirements to prevent cyber risks.

What is RCE in Kubernetes?

A detailed overview of the Remote Code Execution (RCE) attacks, how it affects the Kubernetes infrastructure, and how the vulnerabilities of the K8 systems can be mitigated. Remote Code Execution (RCE) is a vulnerability in systems that cybercriminals can exploit to perform attacks. In RCE attacks, hackers execute malicious code in target systems remotely, irrespective of their location on the network. That’s because they don’t need the target systems to have the execution functionality.
