Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Auth Bypass: Misconfigured Kubernetes API server arguments, such as reusing the main cluster CA for the front-proxy client instead of a dedicated certificate authority, allows unauthorized front-proxy administrative access. This is exacerbated by misconfigured client certificate identities.

Broken Access Control: Exposing the insecure API server port globally on wildcard interfaces allow unauthenticated local and remote privilege escalation without TLS protection or access control.

Incorrect Permission Assignment: Sensitive etcd PKI directories and private keys are historically created with overly loose permissions, allowing local users to steal the root database keys or write-access etcd certificates.
