Pod Creation -> Escalate to ns SAs

Tunaenda kuunda:

• Akaunti ya Huduma "test-sa" yenye kibali cha klasta cha kusoma siri

• ClusterRole "test-cr" na ClusterRoleBinding "test-crb" vitaundwa

• Ruhusa za kuorodhesha na kuunda pods kwa mtumiaji anayeitwa "Test" zitatolewa

• Role "test-r" na RoleBinding "test-rb" vitaundwa

• Kisha tutathibitisha kwamba SA inaweza kuorodhesha siri na kwamba mtumiaji Test anaweza kuorodhesha pods

• Hatimaye tutafanya kujifanya kama mtumiaji Test ili kuunda pod inayojumuisha SA test-sa na kuiba token ya akaunti ya huduma .

• Hii ndiyo njia ya kuonyesha kwamba mtumiaji anaweza kuongeza mamlaka kwa njia hii

Ili kuunda hali hii, akaunti ya admin inatumika. Zaidi ya hayo, ili kuondoa token ya sa katika mfano huu, akaunti ya admin inatumika kuexec ndani ya pod iliyoundwa. Hata hivyo, kama ilivyoelezwa hapa, tangazo la pod linaweza kujumuisha kuondoa token, hivyo kibali cha "exec" si muhimu kuondoa token, "ruhusa ya kuunda" inatosha.

Patch Daemonset

Katika kesi hii tutafanya patch a daemonset ili kufanya pod yake ipakue akaunti yetu ya huduma inayotakiwa.

Ikiwa mtumiaji wako ana verb update badala ya patch, hii haitafanya kazi.

Haifanyi kazi

Unda/Patch Bindings

Haifanyi kazi:

• Unda RoleBinding mpya kwa kutumia kitenzi unda

• Unda RoleBinding mpya kwa kutumia kitenzi patch (unahitaji kuwa na ruhusa za binding)

• Huwezi kufanya hivi kujitenga na jukumu mwenyewe au kwa SA tofauti

• Badilisha RoleBinding mpya kwa kutumia kitenzi patch (unahitaji kuwa na ruhusa za binding)

• Huwezi kufanya hivi kujitenga na jukumu mwenyewe au kwa SA tofauti

Bind explicitly Bindings

Katika sehemu ya "Kuzuia Kupanua Mamlaka na Bootstrapping" ya https://unofficial-kubernetes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin/authorization/rbac/ inatajwa kwamba ikiwa SA inaweza kuunda Binding na ina ruhusa za Bind wazi juu ya Role/Cluster role, inaweza kuunda bindings hata kwa kutumia Roles/ClusterRoles zenye ruhusa ambazo haina. Hata hivyo, haikufanya kazi kwangu:

Kuunda majukumu yasiyo na mipaka

Katika mfano huu tunajaribu kuunda jukumu lenye ruhusa za kuunda na njia juu ya rasilimali za majukumu. Hata hivyo, K8s inatuzuia kuunda jukumu lenye ruhusa zaidi ya zile ambazo kiongozi anayeziumba ana:
