Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) via apiCall. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive resources and escalate privileges via malicious urlPath values that cause the system to perform Kubernetes API requests outside the intended namespace or scope, with the admission controller's service account permissions. This can result in reading or modifying resources across namespaces or at the cluster level.
