Description
Summary
Fission's `buildermgr` controller processed `Package` CRDs without verifying that `Package.spec.environment.namespace` matched `Package.metadata.namespace`.
Details
An attacker with `packages.fission.io/create` in their own namespace could set `spec.environment.namespace` to any other tenant's namespace. The controller then used its high-privilege service account to fetch the Environment
cross-namespace and dispatch the build command into the victim namespace's builder pod.
The build command's stdout is written verbatim into `Package.status.buildlog`. By running malicious code through an npm `preinstall` lifecycle hook (or any equivalent build step), the attacker could read the victim namespace's
`fission-builder` Bearer token from inside that builder pod and surface it through the build log — then use the leaked token to read every Secret and ConfigMap in the victim namespace.
Impact
Cross-tenant compromise: a package author in one namespace could execute code inside another tenant's builder pod and exfiltrate that namespace's `fission-builder` service-account token, giving namespace-wide secret and configmap read in
the victim namespace.
Fix
Fixed in #3379 and released in v1.24.0. Two checks in series:
• Admission webhook (`pkg/webhook/package.go::Validate`) rejects `Package.spec.environment.namespace != Package.metadata.namespace`. An empty namespace is still accepted; the controllers default it to the package's own namespace.
• Controller belt-and-braces: the same check is repeated in `pkg/buildermgr/pkgwatcher.go::build` and `pkg/buildermgr/common.go::buildPackage` before the cross-namespace `Environments(...).Get` call, so a stale Package CR or a
webhook-bypass cluster (`failurePolicy=Ignore`) cannot exploit the primitive either.
Behavioural change
Packages that explicitly set `spec.environment.namespace` to a different namespace are now rejected at admission. Empty-string remains accepted (resolves to the package's own namespace, the same as the prior implicit behaviour).
