Summary
KServe is affected, and Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI) lists it as affected. A namespace-scoped user with create or update rights on InferenceService resources can supply a malicious storageUri, which is a server-side request forgery (CWE-918). The storage-initializer init container then sends arbitrary outbound HTTP and HTTPS requests from inside the cluster, which can expose node IAM role credentials or internal cluster services.

Description from the CNA
A flaw was found in KServe. A namespace-scoped user with create/update permissions on InferenceService custom resources can exploit this vulnerability by providing a malicious `storageUri`. This Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability allows the `storage-initializer` init container to issue arbitrary outbound HTTP/HTTPS requests from inside the cluster. This can lead to information disclosure, including credential theft for the node's Identity and Access Management (IAM) role or access to internal cluster services.
