IBM Cloud Private Kubernetes API server 2.1.0, 3.1.0, 3.1.1, and 3.1.2 can be used as an HTTP proxy to not only cluster internal but also external target IP addresses. IBM X-Force ID: 158145.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Certain IBM Cloud Private Kubernetes API server versions could be misused by an authenticated user as an HTTP proxy. The main business risk is unintended network reachability through the cluster control plane, not direct data theft or service outage. Exposure is limited to organizations running the listed IBM Cloud Private versions where users or services with low privileges can reach the Kubernetes API server. Handle during normal vulnerability remediation unless the affected control plane is broadly reachable or shared with untrusted users. Prioritize inventory and vendor-guided upgrade or mitigation. Mitigation focus: Inventory IBM Cloud Private clusters for versions 2.1.0, 3.1.0, 3.1.1, and 3.1.2.; Review IBM advisory 10878460 for official fixed levels and apply vendor guidance.; Restrict Kubernetes API server access to trusted management networks and administrators..
