NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kubevirt package and not the kubevirt package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

KubeVirt is a virtual machine management add-on for Kubernetes. In 1.5.0 and earlier, the permissions granted to the virt-handler service account, such as the ability to update VMI and patch nodes, could be abused to force a VMI migration to an attacker-controlled node. This vulnerability could otherwise allow an attacker to mark all nodes as unschedulable, potentially forcing the migration or creation of privileged pods onto a compromised node.
