Criação de Pod -> Escalar para SAs de ns

Vamos criar:

• Uma conta de serviço "test-sa" com privilégio de cluster para ler segredos

• Um ClusterRole "test-cr" e um ClusterRoleBinding "test-crb" serão criados

• Permissões para listar e criar pods para um usuário chamado "Test" serão concedidas

• Um Role "test-r" e RoleBinding "test-rb" serão criados

• Em seguida, vamos confirmar que a SA pode listar segredos e que o usuário Test pode listar pods

• Finalmente, vamos impersonar o usuário Test para criar um pod que inclui a SA test-sa e roubar o token da conta de serviço.

• Esta é a maneira de mostrar que o usuário poderia escalar privilégios dessa forma

Para criar o cenário, uma conta de administrador é usada. Além disso, para exfiltrar o token da sa neste exemplo, a conta de administrador é usada para executar dentro do pod criado. No entanto, como explicado aqui, a declaração do pod poderia conter a exfiltração do token, então o privilégio "exec" não é necessário para exfiltrar o token, a permissão "create" é suficiente.

Patch Daemonset

Neste caso, vamos patchar um daemonset para fazer com que seu pod carregue nossa conta de serviço desejada.

Se seu usuário tiver o verbo update em vez de patch, isso não funcionará.

# Create Service Account test-sa
# Create role and rolebinding to give list & update patch permissions over daemonsets in default namespace to user Test
# Create clusterrole and clusterrolebinding to give the SA test-sa access to secrets everywhere

Não funciona

Criar/Patch Bindings

Não funciona:

• Criar um novo RoleBinding apenas com o verbo create

• Criar um novo RoleBinding apenas com o verbo patch (você precisa ter as permissões de binding)

• Você não pode fazer isso para atribuir o papel a si mesmo ou a um SA diferente

• Modificar um novo RoleBinding apenas com o verbo patch (você precisa ter as permissões de binding)

• Você não pode fazer isso para atribuir o papel a si mesmo ou a um SA diferente

Bind explicitly Bindings

Na seção "Prevenção de Escalação de Privilégios e Inicialização" de https://unofficial-kubernetes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin/authorization/rbac/ é mencionado que se um SA pode criar um Binding e tem permissões de Bind explícitas sobre o Role/Cluster role, ele pode criar bindings mesmo usando Roles/ClusterRoles com permissões que não possui. No entanto, não funcionou para mim:

Criação de papéis arbitrários

Neste exemplo, tentamos criar um papel com as permissões de criar e acessar os recursos de papéis. No entanto, o K8s nos impede de criar um papel com mais permissões do que o principal que está criando possui:
