Description
Summary
A Fission Function spec carries three reference types — Secret, ConfigMap, and Package. The first two were namespace-validated by the admission webhook; `PackageRef.Namespace` was not.
Details
A tenant with `functions.fission.io/create` in their own namespace could set `spec.package.packageref.namespace` to any other namespace. When the function is invoked, the fetcher sidecar reads the victim Package using the
`fission-fetcher` service account's namespace-wide `get packages` permission and writes its contents to `/userfunc/deployarchive` inside the attacker's pool pod, exposing the victim's source code and any embedded credentials.
The `fission-fetcher` SA holds `get packages` in every configured function namespace (granted by `charts/fission-all/templates/_function-access-role.tpl`), so the namespace check was the only barrier between the attacker and any
in-cluster Fission Package.
Impact
A function author in one namespace could read the deployment archive — and therefore the source code and embedded secrets — of any Package in any other namespace.
Fix
Fixed in #3389 and released in v1.24.0.
The admission webhook (`pkg/webhook/function.go::Validate`) rejects `Function.spec.package.packageref.namespace != metadata.namespace`. An empty namespace remains accepted (controllers default it to the function's namespace). This
shipped together with the EnvironmentRef cross-namespace check (GHSA-cvw6-gfvv-953q).
Behavioural change
Functions that explicitly set `spec.package.packageref.namespace` to a different namespace are now rejected at admission.
