CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

Authenticated users in Kite, a Kubernetes dashboard, can exploit a flaw to access the `/api/v1/overview` endpoint for clusters they are not authorized to view by manipulating the `x-cluster-name` header. This vulnerability allows unauthorized access to sensitive inventory and capacity data from restricted clusters, potentially leading to data exposure. Organizations using Kite prior to version 0.12.3 should prioritize upgrading to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

Kite is a Kubernetes dashboard. Prior to version 0.12.3, authenticated Kite users with any role can request `/api/v1/overview` for a cluster that their roles do not permit by selecting that cluster with `x-cluster-name`. The overview route is registered before `middleware.RBACMiddleware()` and `GetOverview` only checks `len(user.Roles) > 0`, so it returns aggregate Kubernetes inventory and capacity data from unauthorized clusters. Version 0.12.3 fixes the issue.
