Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the batch resource creation API endpoints when processing multi-document YAML payloads. An attacker can inject arbitrary resources into the underlying namespace of an existing project by sending specially crafted payloads, leveraging the API server's own permissions to elevate privileges, execute remote code, or exfiltrate secrets. This is only exploitable if the attacker is authenticated to the API server with basic user permissions.
