CVE-2024-7646: Kubernetes Ingress-Nginx

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A security issue was discovered in ingress-nginx where an actor with permission to create Ingress objects (in the `networking.k8s.io` or `extensions` API group) can bypass annotation validation to inject arbitrary commands and obtain the credentials of the ingress-nginx controller. In the default configuration, that credential has access to all secrets in the cluster.

Affected products

• Kubernetes Ingress-Nginx: from 1.11.0, before 1.11.2 (fixed in 1.11.2); before 1.10.4 (fixed in 1.10.4); version 1.11.2 only; version 1.10.4 only
