CVE-2025-62714: CWE-862: Missing Authorization in karmada-io dashboard
Karmada Dashboard versions prior to 0.2.0 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in their backend API endpoints. These endpoints do not enforce authentication, allowing unauthenticated users with network access to retrieve sensitive cluster information such as Secrets and Services. The web UI requires JWT authentication, but the API itself is exposed without checks. This vulnerability is identified as CWE-862 and has a high severity score of 8.7.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-62714 describes an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Karmada Dashboard API prior to version 0.2.0. The backend API endpoints, including /api/v1/secret and /api/v1/service, do not enforce authentication, enabling any unauthenticated user with network access to access sensitive cluster data directly. Although the web UI requires a valid JWT token, the API endpoints remain exposed to unauthenticated requests, leading to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information. This vulnerability is categorized under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization).
Potential Impact
Unauthenticated attackers with network access to the Karmada Dashboard service can retrieve sensitive cluster information such as Secrets and Services. This unauthorized access can lead to information disclosure that may compromise cluster security and confidentiality.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Users should upgrade to version 0.2.0 or later once available, as versions prior to 0.2.0 are affected. Until a patch is applied, restrict network access to the Karmada Dashboard API endpoints to trusted users only to mitigate unauthorized access.
