Impact What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted? This ClusterRole has verbs of resources. If a malicious user can access the worker node which has hwameistor's deployment, he/she can abuse these excessive permissions to do whatever he/she likes to the whole cluster, resulting in a cluster-level privilege escalation. Patches Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to? = v0.14.6 Workarounds Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading? Update and Limit the ClusterRole using security-role.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-45054

Advisory: Hwameistor Potential Permission Leakage of Cluster Level
IDs: CVE-2024-45054, GHSA-mgwr-h7mv-fh29
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-45054 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:08 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 4.6)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: github.com/hwameistor/hwameistor 0.14.6. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go github.com/hwameistor/hwameistor: affected <= 0.14.5; fixed in 0.14.6

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go github.com/hwameistor/hwameistor: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on github.com/hwameistor/hwameistor.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-mgwr-h7mv-fh29 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-mgwr-h7mv-fh29 lists affected ranges: Go github.com/hwameistor/hwameistor >=0 <=0.14.5)
