Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: The node bootstrap authentication endpoints and token verification mechanisms are primary targets for authentication bypass and node impersonation. Exploits can allow unauthorized nodes or pods to join the cluster.
Privilege Escalation: Broad AWS IAM actions and wildcards historically leaked access to master CA keys, private secrets, and Route53 DNS zones. Tight constraints are needed on ResourceTag evaluations to prevent cross-cluster privilege escalation.
Auth Bypass: Azure node authentication and IMDS attestation are prone to validation failures where missing signer certificate issuer checks or unvalidated VMIDs allow token spoofing and unauthorized node enrollment.
