{"id":"CVE-2023-30841","aliases":["GHSA-9wh7-397j-722m"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2023-30841","summary":"Ironic and ironic-inspector deployed within Baremetal Operator may expose as ConfigMaps","details":"Baremetal Operator (BMO) is a bare metal host provisioning integration for Kubernetes. Prior to version 0.3.0, ironic and ironic-inspector deployed within Baremetal Operator using the included `deploy.sh` store their `.htpasswd` files as ConfigMaps instead of Secrets. This causes the plain-text username and hashed password to be readable by anyone having a cluster-wide read-access to the management cluster, or access to the management cluster's Etcd storage. This issue is patched in baremetal-operator PR#1241, and is included in BMO release 0.3.0 onwards. As a workaround, users may modify the kustomizations and redeploy the BMO, or recreate the required ConfigMaps as Secrets per instructions in baremetal-operator PR#1241.","published":"2023-04-26T18:24:04.479Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:36.823667415Z","cvss":{"score":6,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":1,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/metal3-io/baremetal-operator","fixedVersion":"0.3.0"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/metal3-io/baremetal-operator/pull/1241","label":"metal3-io/baremetal-operator#1241"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/30xxx/CVE-2023-30841.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/metal3-io/baremetal-operator/security/advisories/GHSA-9wh7-397j-722m"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-30841"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/metal3-io/baremetal-operator/pull/1241"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:36.823667415Z"}}
