Summary
Kubeflow Model Registry through 0.3.17 contains a server-side request forgery (CWE-918) that lets namespace users steal the controller ServiceAccount token through the modelregistry.kubeflow.org/url annotation. An attacker creates an InferenceService that points this annotation at their own server, captures the bearer token, and can modify other tenants' InferenceServices cluster-wide. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 7.1 (HIGH).
