The policy ensures pods running with a service account may only reference secrets specified in the service account’s secrets field. Kubernetes clusters are only affected if the ServiceAccount admission plugin and the `kubernetes.io/enforce-mountable-secrets` annotation are used together with ephemeral containers.","published":"2023-07-03T20:06:11.796Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:19.557891470Z","cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"k8s.io/kubernetes","fixedVersion":"1.27.3"},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"k8s.io/kubernetes","fixedVersion":"1.26.6"},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"k8s.io/kubernetes","fixedVersion":"1.25.11"},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"k8s.io/kubernetes","fixedVersion":"1.24.15"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/07/06/3"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/2xxx/CVE-2023-2728.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-2728"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20230803-0004/"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/118640"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://groups.google.com/g/kubernetes-security-announce/c/vPWYJ_L84m8"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:19.557891470Z"}}
