Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the kubeconfig_content parameter when it contains a legacy GCP auth-provider with config.cmd-path and config.cmd-args. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the shared worker by supplying a crafted kubeconfig that triggers command execution through subprocess handling.
