Description Robb Gatica 2024-05-17 03:54:51 UTC
The Submariner project received a security disclosure regarding unnecessary RBAC that could be used to spread K8s node compromises. If an attacker is able to run a privileged malicious container on a node, they may be able to escape the container and steal service account tokens. Since Submariner's route agent runs on every node, its SA token is available from any compromised node.
