Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Privilege Management via namespaces across any API group, which erroneously grants edit permissions on namespaces within the 'core' group. An attacker can escalate privileges and perform unauthorized actions such as accessing, creating, updating, or deleting namespaces within a project. This includes the ability to read or update a namespace so it becomes accessible in other projects where the attacker has 'manage-namespaces' permission, or to move a namespace into the project, potentially leading to the leakage of secrets or abuse of resource quotas of the targeted project.
