Description
NGINX Gateway Fabric has a vulnerability when it is configured with Gateway
Custom Resource Definition (CRD) and have an authenticated gRPC connection with NGINX Agent. A namespaced
authenticated attacker with access to a service account may impersonate the authenticated NGINX Agent gRPC connection to read TLS private keys of Gateway deployments in another namespace.
Impact
A remote authenticated attacker may be able to read TLS private keys of Gateway deployments in another namespace.
There is no data plane exposure; this is a control plane issue only.
Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
