description

Kubeflow Pipelines API server versions before 2.18.0 can skip authorization for HTTP pipeline uploads targeting the shared empty namespace in multi-user deployments. A low-privilege tenant can create shared pipelines or add versions to existing shared pipelines; callers may be unauthenticated when the API server is exposed without an authenticating proxy. Exploitation requires access to the affected upload endpoints and an empty namespace path.

mitigation

Upgrade ghcr.io/kubeflow/kfp-api-server to version 2.18.0 or later. Until upgraded, require namespaces for pipeline operations and restrict the API server behind authenticated, authorized network access.

fixed in 2.18.0
