Nuclio: Unsanitized cron trigger event headers/body injected into CronJob shell command leads to persistent RCE

Type: advisorySources: OSV

Nuclio is a "Serverless" framework for Real-Time Events and Data Processing. Prior to version 1.16.4, the Nuclio controller builds a curl invocation string for each cron trigger and stores it as the args of a Kubernetes CronJob container (/bin/sh, -c, ). Two fields in the trigger specification flow into this string without adequate sanitization: event.headers keys and event.body. This issue has been patched in version 1.16.4.
