The Ticking Supply Chain Attack Bomb of Exposed Kubernetes Secrets

Millions of Kubernetes secrets are exposed through misconfigured registries, creating a massive supply chain attack vector. Organizations using these exposed secrets are at immediate risk of compromise.

The exposed secrets include authentication credentials, API keys, and certificates that could allow attackers to gain unauthorized access to Kubernetes clusters and associated cloud resources.

Impact Assessment

• Over 250 million artifacts potentially exposed
• Secrets found in container images, Helm charts, and other artifacts
