A security issue was discovered in the Kubernetes Image Builder versions <= v0.1.37 where default credentials are enabled during the image build process. Virtual machine images built using the Proxmox provider do not disable these default credentials, and nodes using the resulting images may be accessible via these default credentials. The credentials can be used to gain root access. Kubernetes clusters are only affected if their nodes use VM images created via the Image Builder project with its Proxmox provider.

This critical severity hardcoded credential vulnerability affects virtual machine images built with Kubernetes Image Builder

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - A security issue was discovered in the Kubernetes Image Builder versions <= v0.1.37 where default
    credentials are enabled during the image build process. Virtual machine images built using the Proxmox
    provider do not disable these default credentials, and nodes using the resulting images may be accessible
    via these default credentials. The credentials can be used to gain root access. Kubernetes clusters are
    only affected if their nodes use VM images created via the Image Builder project with its Proxmox
    provider. (CVE-2024-9486)

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:3911-1 advisory.
