Description
A flaw was found in maestro. A remote attacker could exploit a SQL injection vulnerability in the `orderBy` query parameter of its REST API list endpoints. This flaw, which does not require authentication, allows for read-only blind extraction of data from the database.

Impact: SQL Injection – Read‑Only Data Exfiltration
Action: Implement Firewall
AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw resides in the orderBy query parameter used by maestro’s REST API list endpoints. A remote actor can inject crafted SQL fragments without authentication, forcing the underlying database to execute unintended queries. The injection is blind but allows extraction of read‑only data, compromising confidentiality. The attacker cannot modify data or execute arbitrary code; the impact is limited to data exposure.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Red Hat Multicluster Engine for Kubernetes deployments. No specific version information is provided.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity. EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The flaw can be exploited over the network through the publicly exposed maestro REST API endpoints without any authentication. Because the attack only yields read‑only access, the likelihood of exploitation on a system that is properly segmented is reduced, but the potential for confidential data leakage remains a concern.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

To mitigate this vulnerability, restrict network access to the `maestro` REST API list endpoints to trusted clients only. Implement firewall rules or network segmentation to limit exposure of the affected service. If the `maestro` service is not essential, consider disabling it.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Restrict network access to maestro REST API list endpoints by implementing firewall rules or network segmentation
  • If maestro service is not essential, disable the service to remove the exposed API
  • Monitor for anomalous API calls or attempted injection patterns
