A flaw was found in the Kubernetes kOps. Affected versions of Kubernetes kOps could allow a remote authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system caused by a vulnerability when using the GCE/GCP Provider in Gossip Mode. By sending a specially-crafted request, an authenticated attacker can gain elevated privileges to cluster-admin permissions.
