Kubernetes Service Account Token Exposure

Category SECURITY_MISCONFIGURATION
Base Score 5.0

Description

Every pod in Kubernetes is associated with a service account which by default has access to the Kubernetes API. This access is made available to pods by Kubernetes via an auto-generated token.

Impact

If exposed, an attacker can use a service account token to access sensitive information via requests to the API Server.
