Description

Summary Fission builder pods were created with `ServiceAccountName: fission-builder` and no `AutomountServiceAccountToken: false`, so the kubelet auto-mounted the service-account token into every container in the pod — including the user-supplied builder image. Details The user controls the builder container image, command, and podspec through `Environment.spec.builder.image` / `.container` / `.podspec`. With the SA token auto-mounted at `/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token` inside that container, any code running there inherited the `fission-builder` identity. The `fission-builder` SA holds namespace-wide `get` on `secrets` and `configmaps` (`pkg/utils/serviceaccount.go`), so the user-controlled builder container could read every Secret in the builder namespace by name. This is the buildermgr sibling of GHSA-85g2-pmrx-r49q (CVE-2026-46617), whose fix suppressed the SA-token automount on function runtime pods but did not cover the structurally identical primitive in `pkg/buildermgr/envwatcher.go`. Impact A subject with `create`/`update` on `Environment` CRDs in a namespace observed by the buildermgr could read every Secret and ConfigMap in the builder namespace via the auto-mounted `fission-builder` token. Fix Fixed in #3390 and released in v1.24.0. In `createBuilderDeployment`: • Set pod-level `AutomountServiceAccountToken=false` on the initial PodSpec and add the projected fetcher SA-token volume. • Re-clamp `AutomountServiceAccountToken=false` after every `MergePodSpec` call so a user-supplied podspec cannot restore the kubelet automount. • Mount the token via a projected volume on the fetcher sidecar only, so the legitimate build → archive-upload flow keeps its cluster API access. Reuses the projected-volume helpers from `pkg/executor/util/satoken.go` introduced by the GHSA-85g2-pmrx-r49q fix. Behavioural change The user-supplied builder container no longer receives an auto-mounted SA token. The fetcher sidecar still gets its token via a projected volume.
