NVD: The service-proxy appends impersonation group headers to proxied requests without first removing caller-supplied values, and the spoke ServiceAccount holds unrestricted impersonation permissions. NVD: An authenticated hub principal can inject an Impersonate-Group header to escalate to cluster-admin on every managed cluster.
