Title
Calico Tier Authorization Bypass via DeleteCollection
Summary
Calico's apiserver wraps tier-scoped resources so that every operation runs through AuthorizeTierOperation, but the Delete override on NetworkPolicy, GlobalNetworkPolicy, and their staged variants is not invoked for DeleteCollection requests. A user holding the deletecollection verb or wildcard verbs on tier-scoped policy resources can bulk-delete policies in tiers they otherwise have no rights on, breaking the tier authorization boundary.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
