An authenticated SSRF flaw was found in the OpenShift Console Dev Console webhook helpers. User-supplied target URLs are fetched server-side without validation, with path neutralization enabling arbitrary endpoint targeting and full response reflection from the console pod's privileged network position.

Fixes

Solution

No solution given by the vendor.


Workaround

Apply NetworkPolicy egress restrictions to the openshift-console namespace to limit the console pod's outbound connectivity to required endpoints only (Kubernetes API server, OAuth server, monitoring). Note that a blanket default-deny egress policy will break console functionality. Monitor console access logs for unusual POST requests to /api/dev-console/webhooks/ paths with non-standard hostName values pointing to internal addresses or containing query separators.
