    Attacker's goals: Create overpermissive cluster roles to escalate privileges within the Kubernetes cluster.
    Investigative actions: Check the permissions granted to the newly created Kubernetes cluster role. Check whether this cluster role was bound to an identity via a ClusterRoleBinding or RoleBinding. Verify whether the identity that created the cluster role is authorized to perform RBAC operations. Review subsequent API calls made by the same identity for signs of privilege escalation or lateral movement.
