CVE-2024-9042 is an OS command-injection vulnerability in Kubernetes' beta NodeLogQuery/Log Query functionality affecting Windows worker nodes. Insufficient validation and sanitization of the log-query Pattern parameter permits attacker-controlled input to reach a PowerShell invocation. The vulnerable logic is specific to Windows builds and can result in execution of injected commands on the queried Windows node.

A vulnerability with available exploits and a published patch. The supplied CVSS v3 and v4 vectors describe network-based exploitation requiring high privileges and high attack complexity, without user interaction. Successful exploitation has high confidentiality and integrity impact, with no availability impact indicated. The content does not identify the affected product or underlying flaw.
A command injection vulnerability in the Kubernetes NodeLogQuery feature (CVE-2024-9042) allows attackers with log read permissions on Windows nodes to execute arbitrary OS commands if the feature is enabled. The vulnerability is significant as it could lead to remote code execution on affected Kubernetes nodes.
A command-injection vulnerability in Kubernetes (CVE-2024-9042) allows remote attackers to execute code with SYSTEM privileges on Windows endpoints in clusters running the beta Log Query feature. The flaw is due to insufficient sanitization of a pattern parameter in Log Query requests, enabling command injection via crafted queries. Only Windows nodes with the beta Log Query feature enabled are affected. The vulnerability is fixed in Kubernetes 1.32.1 and later.
A critical remote code execution vulnerability in Kubernetes Log Query (CVE-2024-9042) allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM privileges on Windows nodes in clusters using the Log Query beta feature. Exploitation is possible via a crafted GET request, leading to full cluster compromise.
