A flaw was found in helm. The helm template lookup() function bypasses the intended security property that the running `helm template` will not attach to a helm cluster. This flaw allows a malicious template to disclose facts about the cluster without the administrator's consent.

Mitigation: Three mitigations are described in the Helm project's advisory. Running `helm lint` will report an error if a template uses the lookup function; thus templates that pass `helm lint` can be used safely without triggering this vulnerability. Setting `KUBECONFIG` to point to an empty kubernetes configuration file will prevent unintended network connections. Manually analysing charts to ensure there is no use of the `lookup` function in the `templates/` directory can prove they are safe to use. |
