We have not observed this exploit in the wild or reported elsewhere in the community at large. All users are advised to upgrade ASAP.

All users on release v0.12.2 and before are affected.

CVSS V3 rated as Critical - 9.8 severity.

Solution

This issue was fixed by PR https://github.com/minio/console/pull/1217, users should upgrade to latest release.Workaround:
Add `automountServiceAccountToken: false` to the operator-console deployment in Kubernetes so no service account token will get mounted inside the pod, then disable the external identity provider authentication by unset the `CONSOLE_IDP_URL`, `CONSOLE_IDP_CLIENT_ID`, `CONSOLE_IDP_SECRET` and `CONSOLE_IDP_CALLBACK` environment variable and instead use the Kubernetes service account token.
