CVE-2024-53349Network attack vector

Privilege escalation via exposed service-account token

Published Mar 21, 2025 · Updated Mar 24, 2025

Improper privilege management in Kuadrant 0.11.3 allows remote attackers to obtain a service-account token and escalate privileges. The published record identifies insecure permissions in the Kubernetes Secrets component but does not disclose the exact RBAC rule or operation that exposes the token. Exploitation requires network reachability and a high-complexity path, and the stolen token grants the service account's existing cluster permissions without reported availability impact.
