CVE-2024-36534Public exploit

Local privilege escalation via service-account token exposure

Published Jul 24, 2024 · Updated Aug 27, 2024

Incorrect permissions in HwameiStor 0.14.3 allow local users to obtain a Kubernetes service-account token and escalate privileges. The public advisory does not identify the affected workload, file mode, or permission rule, but states that the assigned permissions expose the token. Local access to the affected deployment is required; the stolen token permits data access and actions allowed to its Kubernetes service account.
