CVE-2025-24513 is a path traversal vulnerability in the Kubernetes ingress-nginx Admission Controller. According to the provided content, attacker-controlled data is incorporated into a filename by the Admission Controller feature, allowing directory traversal within the ingress-nginx container. The issue affects ingress-nginx versions prior to the March 24, 2025 fixes, and is described as an auth secret file path traversal flaw. The vulnerable behavior can be triggered through crafted Ingress-related input processed by the admission component, causing the controller to access unintended filesystem paths inside the container.
