Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource in policy_validation.go, which allows an attacker to prevent the creation and update of PolicyReport objects to hide non-compliant resources. This is possible by abusing an AdmissionPolicy or AdmissionPolicyGroup, which evaluate namespaced resources. It is also possible to abuse an AdmissionPolicy to alter the contents of the PolicyReports created in the namespace.
