Vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The weakness exists due to an error when handling proxy requests. With a specially crafted request, users that are authorized to establish a connection through the Kubernetes API server to a backend server can then send arbitrary requests over the same connection directly to that backend, authenticated with the Kubernetes API server’s TLS credentials used to establish the backend connection.
