Description
Impact
Users of the podSecurity (validate.podSecurity) subrule in Kyverno versions v1.9.2 and v1.9.3 may be unable to enforce the check for the Seccomp control at the baseline level when using a version value of latest. There is no effect if a version number is referenced instead. See the documentation for information on this subrule type. Users of Kyverno v1.9.2 and v1.9.3 are affected.
Patches
v1.9.4 v1.10.0
Workarounds
To work around this issue without upgrading to v1.9.4, temporarily install individual policies for the respective Seccomp checks in baseline here and restricted here.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/kyverno/kyverno, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/kyverno/kyverno to 1.9.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-33hq-f2mf-jm3c is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
