services / Azure / Kubernetes Roles

Kubernetes Roles in an AKS-managed aiManagers cluster, which define sets of RBAC permission rules (verbs over resources) that are granted to subjects via bindings.

Role definitions are core cluster access-control policy; manipulating them governs the permission surface up to cluster-admin.

Creating/updating a Role lets an attacker define or expand a permission set that bound subjects inherit, escalating privilege within the cluster.

Risks

1. Privilege escalation (CRITICAL)

Scope: CRITICAL

This privilege may grant access to sensitive data from a significant fraction of organizational functions, allow interruption of critical organizational services, or its exploit could lead to significant privilege escalation.
