Description Marian Rehak 2021-04-08 09:56:28 UTC 
If you create a kiali instance, then you can specify any project in yaml and it will be installed there, ignoring the rights to this project. If current user has edit permissions to 'user-namespace' but not to 'any-namespace', kiali anyway will be created in 'any-namespace'.

Comment 3 Mark Cooper 2021-04-13 04:04:40 UTC 
Very similar to https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2020-14306 where an attacker would need some level of privilege to begin with.
