Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

KubeView through 0.1.31 allows attackers to obtain control of a Kubernetes cluster because api/scrape/kube-system does not require authentication, and retrieves certificate files that can be used for authentication as kube-admin. NOTE: the vendor's position is that KubeView was a "fun side project and a learning exercise," and not "very secure."

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2022-45933

Advisory: KubeView vulnerable to full cluster takeover due to improper authentication
IDs: CVE-2022-45933, GHSA-22vc-5pgw-644q
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2022-45933 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:58 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.8)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go github.com/benc-uk/kubeview: affected <= 0.1.31

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go github.com/benc-uk/kubeview: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on github.com/benc-uk/kubeview.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-22vc-5pgw-644q (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-22vc-5pgw-644q lists affected ranges: Go github.com/benc-uk/kubeview >=0 <=0.1.31)

Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
