How the Exploit Works
An attacker, exploiting this vulnerability, would need to have GET or LIST permissions on BundleDeployment resources. With these permissions, they can send a GET or LIST request to retrieve Helm values, which may contain confidential credentials or other secrets. The flaw lies in the inadequate permission restrictions on these resources, enabling unauthorized data exposure.
Conceptual Example Code
GET /api/v1/namespaces/{namespace}/bundledeployments/{name} HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Authorization: Bearer {token}
Accept: application/jsonIn this example, an attacker with the necessary permissions sends a GET request to the BundleDeployment resource. The response could potentially contain sensitive Helm values if the vulnerability has not been addressed.
