Abstract
Access control lists, in the form of RBAC and related technology are everywhere. They are fundamental to how we design authorisation mechanisms in systems today. However they don’t actually work, as this lovely, short and beautifully written paper by Tyler Close from 2009 explains, and major security issues such as the recent Kubernetes vulnerability continue to happen because of this.
