CVE-2022-45933 (GCVE-0-2022-45933)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-11-27 00:00 – Updated: 2025-04-29 13:44Summary
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."
