Tests if malicious code can be injected and executed via ConfigMaps. Attackers could use this to escalate privileges or exfiltrate data from pods that mount untrusted ConfigMaps.
- Remove hardcoded script content from Go implementation - Make all parameters required (scriptContent, mountPath, targetCommand) - Clean up YAML example to be more concise and professional
- Implements OWASP Top 10 A01:2021 vulnerability testing - Tests RBAC bypass attempts across namespaces - Verifies if pods can access secrets/configmaps in restricted namespaces - Adds OWASP framework to categories - Creates minimal service account to test access controls
- Add OWASP reference URL and timestamps - Enhance logging to show actual kubectl commands executed - Add summary section with test completion info - Improve description for better user understanding
- Tests real injection vulnerabilities in K8s API, Ingress annotations, RBAC names, and ConfigMap keys - Validates EKS cluster security against path traversal, command injection, and resource name injection - Found critical vulnerability: Ingress controllers accept command injection in annotations - Found moderate vulnerability: RBAC allows path traversal patterns in role names - Confirmed EKS properly blocks injection in ConfigMap keys and Service selectors - No container dependencies - tests cluster infrastructure directly - Provides detailed vulnerability reporting like original experiments
