NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream external-secrets-operator package and not the external-secrets-operator package as distributed by Minimos.
See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.
External Secrets Operator reads information from a third-party service and automatically injects the values as Kubernetes Secrets. Prior to 2.4.0, Namespaced SecretStore resources that used CAProvider with type ConfigMap could resolve CA material from another namespace when caProvider.namespace was set. This bypassed the namespace boundary enforced for SecretStore-backed references in providers that rely on the shared runtime CA resolver. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.4.0.
