Critical · 9.8 Scanner template CVE-2022-45933 EUVD-2022-7188GHSA-22vc-5pgw-644q

KubeView vulnerable to full cluster takeover due to improper authentication

Published Nov 27, 2022 · Updated Apr 29, 2025 · Assigned by mitre

Description

KubeView through 0.1.31 allows attackers to obtain control of a Kubernetes cluster because api/scrape/kube-system does not require authentication, and retrieves certificate files that can be used for authentication as kube-admin. NOTE: the vendor's position is that KubeView was a "fun side project and a learning exercise," and not "very secure."

Automated scanner template

A ready-made Nuclei template detects this vulnerability automatically. Vulnerabilities with public scanner templates are typically probed across the internet soon after the template appears — exposed systems should be patched first.

Source: projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates (MIT) — updated daily. Only links are listed.
