Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Kubernetes (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue allows users to launch containers that bypass the mountable secrets policy enforced by the ServiceAccount admission plugin when using ephemeral containers. This policy ensures that pods running with a service account may only reference secrets specified in the service account’s secrets field. Kubernetes clusters are only affected if the ServiceAccount admission plugin and the
kubernetes.io/enforce-mountable-secrets annotation are used together with ephemeral containers.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
