Summary

Kite is a Kubernetes dashboard. Prior to version 0.12.3, authenticated Kite users with any role can request `/api/v1/overview` for a cluster that their roles do not permit by selecting that cluster with `x-cluster-name`. The overview route is registered before `middleware.RBACMiddleware()` and `GetOverview` only checks `len(user.Roles) > 0`, so it returns aggregate Kubernetes inventory and capacity data from unauthorized clusters. Version 0.12.3 fixes the issue.

Risk Assessment

The risk is unauthorized access to Kubernetes cluster data, which could expose sensitive information about infrastructure and resources, potentially leading to further attacks.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade Kite to version 0.12.3 or later to ensure proper role-based access control.
