# Pod Creation -> Escalate to ns SAs
We are going to create:
* A **Service account "test-sa"** with a cluster privilege to **read secrets**
* A ClusterRole "test-cr" and a ClusterRoleBinding "test-crb" will be created
* **Permissions** to list and **create** pods to a user called "**Test**" will be given
* A Role "test-r" and RoleBinding "test-rb" will be created
* Then we will **confirm** that the SA can list secrets and that the user Test can list a pods
* Finally we will **impersonate the user Test** to **create a pod** that includes the **SA test-sa** and **steal** the service account **token.**
* This is the way yo show the user could escalate privileges this way
{% hint style="info" %}
To create the scenario an admin account is used.\
Moreover, to **exfiltrate the sa token** in this example the **admin account is used** to exec inside the created pod. However, [**as explained here**](./#pod-creation-steal-token), the **declaration of the pod could contain the exfiltration of the token**, so the "exec" privilege is not necesario to exfiltrate the token, the **"create" permission is enough**.
{% endhint %}

If your user has the **verb update instead of patch, this won't work**.

# Create Service Account test-sa
# Create role and rolebinding to give list & update patch permissions over daemonsets in default namespace to user Test
# Create clusterrole and clusterrolebinding to give the SA test-sa access to secrets everywhere

# Doesn't work
## Create/Patch Bindings
**Doesn't work:**
* **Create a new RoleBinding** just with the verb **create**
* **Create a new RoleBinding** just with the verb **patch** (you need to have the binding permissions)
* You cannot do this to assign the role to yourself or to a different SA
* **Modify a new RoleBinding** just with the verb **patch** (you need to have the binding permissions)
* You cannot do this to assign the role to yourself or to a different SA

## Bind explicitly Bindings
In the "Privilege Escalation Prevention and Bootstrapping" section of [https://unofficial-kubernetes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin/authorization/rbac/](https://unofficial-kubernetes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin/authorization/rbac/) it's mentioned that if a SA can create a Binding and has explicitly Bind permissions over the Role/Cluster role, it can create bindings even using Roles/ClusterRoles with permissions that it doesn't have.\
However, it didn't work for me:
```yaml
# Create 2 SAs, give one of them permissions to create clusterrolebindings
# and bind permissions over the ClusterRole "admin"
echo 'apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:

## Arbitrary roles creation
In this example we try to create a role having the permissions create and path over the roles resources. However, K8s prevent us from creating a role with more permissions the principal creating is has:
```yaml
# Create a SA and give the permissions "create" and "patch" over "roles"
echo 'apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: test-sa
---
kind: Role
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1

name: test-r
rules:
- apiGroups: ["rbac.authorization.k8s.io"]
resources: ["roles"]
verbs: ["patch", "create", "get"]
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: RoleBinding
metadata:
name: test-rb
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: test-sa
roleRef:
kind: Role
name: test-r
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
' | kubectl apply -f -
# Try to create a role over all the resources with "create" and "patch"
# This won't wotrk
echo 'kind: Role
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: test-r2
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["*"]
verbs: ["patch", "create"]' | kubectl --as system:serviceaccount:default:test-sa apply -f-
# Clean the environment
kubectl delete rolebinding test-rb
kubectl delete role test-r
kubectl delete role test-r2
kubectl delete serviceaccount test-sa
```
