Kubernetes (kubelet): Command injection on Windows nodes via the nodes/*/logs/query API

CVE-2024-9042Container, Kubernetes & orchestrationcurated

Impact

Command injection on Windows nodes via the nodes/*/logs/query API

Who can reach it

Cluster user with node log-query rights

What to do

Rolling kubelet upgrade; Windows node drain; restrict nodes/log RBAC

Fleet impact

How widespread

Niche in GPU clouds - Windows GPU nodes are rare, but the nodes/*/logs/query path is a reminder that kubelet log endpoints reach the host shell

Cost to remediate

daemon-restart - kubelet upgrade to v1.32.1 / v1.31.5 / v1.30.9 / v1.29.13, node-by-node

Why it hits the whole fleet

Anyone with nodes/*/logs read rights injects into PowerShell and executes as SYSTEM on the node; low ubiquity in GPU fleets keeps this off the emergency list
