### Enumerate the cluster from the AWS Console
If you have the permission **`eks:AccessKubernetesApi`** you can **view Kubernetes objects** via AWS EKS console ([Learn more](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/view-workloads.html)).
### Connect to AWS Kubernetes Cluster
* Easy way:
```bash
# Generate kubeconfig
aws eks update-kubeconfig --name aws-eks-dev
```
* Not that easy way:
If you can **get a token** with **`aws eks get-token --name <cluster_name>`** but you don't have permissions to get cluster info (describeCluster), you could **prepare your own `~/.kube/config`**. However, having the token, you still need the **url endpoint to connect to** (if you managed to get a JWT token from a pod read [here](aws-eks-post-exploitation.md#get-api-server-endpoint-from-a-jwt-token)) and the **name of the cluster**.
In my case, I didn't find the info in CloudWatch logs, but I **found it in LaunchTemaplates userData** and in **EC2 machines in userData also**. You can see this info in **userData** easily, for example in the next example (the cluster name was cluster-name):

### From AWS to Kubernetes
The **creator** of the **EKS cluster** is **ALWAYS** going to be able to get into the kubernetes cluster part of the group **`system:masters`** (k8s admin). At the time of this writing there is **no direct way** to find **who created** the cluster (you can check CloudTrail). And the is **no way** to **remove** that **privilege**.
The way to grant **access to over K8s to more AWS IAM users or roles** is using the **configmap** **`aws-auth`**.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Therefore, anyone with **write access** over the config map **`aws-auth`** will be able to **compromise the whole cluster**.
{% endhint %}
For more information about how to **grant extra privileges to IAM roles & users** in the **same or different account** and how to **abuse** this to [**privesc check this page**](../../kubernetes-security/abusing-roles-clusterroles-in-kubernetes/#aws-eks-aws-auth-configmaps).
Check also[ **this awesome**](https://blog.lightspin.io/exploiting-eks-authentication-vulnerability-in-aws-iam-authenticator) **post to learn how the authentication IAM -> Kubernetes work**.
### From Kubernetes to AWS
It's possible to allow an **OpenID authentication for kubernetes service account** to allow them to assume roles in AWS. Learn how [**this work in this page**](../../kubernetes-security/kubernetes-pivoting-to-clouds.md#workflow-of-iam-role-for-service-accounts-1).
### GET Api Server Endpoint from a JWT Token
Decoding the JWT token we get the cluster id & also the region. ![image](https://github.com/HackTricks-wiki/hacktricks-cloud/assets/87022719/0e47204a-eea5-4fcb-b702-36dc184a39e9) Knowing that the standard format for EKS url is
```bash
https://<cluster-id>.<two-random-chars><number>.<region>.eks.amazonaws.com
```
Didn't find any documentation that explain the criteria for the 'two chars' and the 'number'. But making some test on my behalf I see recurring these one:
* gr7
* yl4
Anyway are just 3 chars we can bruteforce them. Use the below script for generating the list
```python
from itertools import product
from string import ascii_lowercase
letter_combinations = product('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', repeat = 2)
number_combinations = product('0123456789', repeat = 1)
result = [
f'{''.join(comb[0])}{comb[1][0]}'
for comb in product(letter_combinations, number_combinations)
]
with open('out.txt', 'w') as f:
f.write('\n'.join(result))
```
Then with wfuzz
```bash
wfuzz -Z -z file,out.txt --hw 0 https://<cluster-id>.FUZZ.<region>.eks.amazonaws.com
```
{% hint style="warning" %}
Remember to replace & .
{% endhint %}
### Bypass CloudTrail
If an attacker obtains credentials of an AWS with **permission over an EKS**. If the attacker configures it's own **`kubeconfig`** (without calling **`update-kubeconfig`**) as explained previously, the **`get-token`** doesn't generate logs in Cloudtrail because it doesn't interact with the AWS API (it just creates the token locally).
So when the attacker talks with the EKS cluster, **cloudtrail won't log anything related to the user being stolen and accessing it**.
Note that the **EKS cluster might have logs enabled** that will log this access (although, by default, they are disabled).
### EKS Ransom?
By default the **user or role that created** a cluster is **ALWAYS going to have admin privileges** over the cluster. And that the only "secure" access AWS will have over the Kubernetes cluster.
So, if an **attacker compromises a cluster using fargate** and **removes all the other admins** and d**eletes the AWS user/role that created** the Cluster, ~~the attacker could have **ransomed the cluste**~~**r**.
{% hint style="success" %}
Note that if the cluster was using **EC2 VMs**, it could be possible to get Admin privileges from the **Node** and recover the cluster.
Actually, If the cluster is using Fargate you could EC2 nodes or move everything to EC2 to the cluster and recover it accessing the tokens in the node.
