CVE-2023-27484

18
FAUCET Score

CVE-2023-27484 is a medium-severity vulnerability in crossplane-runtime, a library used by Crossplane for Kubernetes controllers. Highly privileged users with Composition write access can specify an excessively large index in a patch's ToFieldPath, causing Crossplane to allocate significant memory and potentially leading to a denial of service (OOM-Kill) for the affected Pod. The attack vector is network-based with high privileges required and no user interaction. While the CVSS score is 4.9, the FAUCET Risk Score is 15/100, indicating a relatively low overall risk. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
