How to fix?

Upgrade kubevirt.io/kubevirt/pkg/cloud-init to version 0.26.0 or higher.

Overview

kubevirt.io/kubevirt/pkg/cloud-init is a Kubernetes Virtualization API and runtime in order to define and manage virtual machines.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Permissions. A flaw was found in the KubeVirt main virt-handler versions before 0.26.0 regarding the access permissions of virt-handler. An attacker with access to create VMs could attach any secret within their namespace, allowing them to read the contents of that secret.
