Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Equivalent Special Elements via the NGINX configuration generator component. An attacker can inject arbitrary NGINX configuration directives by supplying crafted values to the serverTokens or extraAuthArgs fields in the relevant Custom Resource Definitions. This is only exploitable if the attacker is authenticated and has permission to create or modify these Custom Resource Definitions.
