GHSA-mg7w-c9x2-xh7r Karmada PULL Mode Cluster Privilege Escalation

• Go github.com/karmada-io/karmada: < 1.12.0 → fixed in 1.12.0

Impact _What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_ The PULL mode clusters registered with the `karmadactl register` command have excessive privileges to access control plane resources. By abusing these permissions, an attacker able to authenticate as the karmada-agent to a karmada cluster would be able to obtain administrative privileges over the entire federation system including all registered member clusters. Patches _Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_ Since Karmada v1.12.0, command `karmadactl register` restricts the access permissions of pull mode member clusters to control plane resources. This way, an attacker able to authenticate as the karmada-agent cannot control other member clusters in Karmada. Workarounds _Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_ Restricts the access permissions of pull mode member clusters to control plane resources according to Karmada Component Permissions Docs.
