Kiali content spoofing vulnerability

A content spoofing vulnerability was found in Kiali. It was discovered that Kiali does not implement error handling when the page or endpoint being accessed cannot be found. This issue allows an attacker to perform arbitrary text injection when an error response is retrieved from the URL being accessed.

Improper Preservation of Permissions

An incorrect access control flaw was found in the kiali-operator in versions before 1.33.0 and before 1.24.7. This flaw allows an attacker with a basic level of access to the cluster (to deploy a kiali operand) to use this vulnerability and deploy a given image to anywhere in the cluster, potentially gaining access to privileged service account tokens. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity …

Authentication Bypass by Spoofing

An authentication bypass vulnerability was found in Kiali in versions before 1.31.0 when the authentication strategy OpenID is used. When RBAC is enabled, Kiali assumes that some of the token validation is handled by the underlying cluster. When OpenID implicit flow is used with RBAC turned off, this token validation doesn't occur, and this allows a malicious user to bypass the authentication.

Use of Hard-coded Credentials

A hard-coded cryptographic key vulnerability in the default configuration file was found in Kiali, all versions prior to 1.15.1. A remote attacker could abuse this flaw by creating their own JWT signed tokens and bypass Kiali authentication mechanisms, possibly gaining privileges to view and alter the Istio configuration.

Session Fixation

An insufficient JWT validation vulnerability was found in Kiali versions 0.4.0 to 1.15.0 and was fixed in Kiali version 1.15.1, wherein a remote attacker could abuse this flaw by stealing a valid JWT cookie and using that to spoof a user session, possibly gaining privileges to view and alter the Istio configuration.
