Exactly one week ago, Sven and I had the incredible opportunity to give our very first talk at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2026: How To Break Multi-Tenancy Again and Again …and What We Can Learn From It. We discussed the challenges of namespace-based multi-tenancy and presented real-world exploits in Kubeflow, Istio, and Traefik that bypass threat boundaries between […]
This page introduces our structured methodology for assessing security risks in Kubernetes environments that use Namespace-based Multi-Tenancy. It addresses weaknesses that break Namespace-based isolation that not well studied, yet. We found this issues during our research and presented them together with this methodology in our Talk at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026. The methodology assumes […]
We reported a possible Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack scenario in which a VirtualService can redirect or intercept traffic within the service mesh. This affects Namespace-based Multi-Tenancy clusters where tenants have the permissions to deploy Istio resources (networking.istio.io/v1). In collaboration with Istio, we published a guest submission in Istio’s blog (as well as below), a Security Bulletin, and an update to their Security […]
