medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413892

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Users may be able to launch containers that bypass the mountable secrets policy enforced by the
 ServiceAccount admission plugin when using ephemeral containers. 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. (CVE-2023-2728)
