github.com/karmada-io/dashboard fixed: 0.2.0
Upgrade github.com/karmada-io/dashboard to 0.2.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2025-62714, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/karmada io/dashboard:

inspect dependencies for github.com/karmada-io/dashboard

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/karmada io/dashboard in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.2.0), your application is affected.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-862: Missing Authorization, where the product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. In Github.com/karmada io/dashboard, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact This is an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Karmada Dashboard API. The backend API endpoints (e.g., /api/v1/secret, /api/v1/service) did not enforce authentication, allowing unauthenticated users to access sensitive cluster information such as Secrets and Services directly. Although the web UI required a valid JWT for access, the API itself remained exposed to direct requests without any authentication checks. Any user or entity with network access to the Karmada Dashboard service could exploit this vulnerability to retrieve sensitive data. ### Patches The issue has been fixed in Karmada Dashboard v0.2.0. This release enforces authentication for all API endpoints. Users are strongly advised to upgrade to version v0.2.0 or later as soon as possible. ### Workarounds If upgrading is not immediately feasible, users can mitigate the risk by: - Restricting network access to the Karmada Dashboard service using Kubernetes Network Policies, firewall rules, or ingress controls. - Placing the Dashboard behind a reverse proxy that enforces authentication (e.g., OAuth2 proxy) to add an additional layer of security. ### References - Karmada Dashboard v0.2.0 Release : https://github.com/karmada-io/dashboard/releases/tag/v0.2.0 - Fix PR #271 - Fix PR #280
