CVE-2021-25736
Last modified
CVE-2021-25736 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.3/10 on the CVSS scale. Kube-proxy on Windows can unintentionally forward traffic to local processes listening on the same port (“spec.ports[*].port”) as a LoadBalancer Service when the LoadBalancer controller does not set the “status.loadBalancer.ingress[].ip” field. Clusters where the LoadBalancer controller sets the “status.loadBalancer.ingress[].ip” field are unaffected.. EPSS estimates a 0.91% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
