A security issue was reported in kOps <https://github.com/kubernetes/kops> with the GCP Provider running in Gossip Mode <https://kops.sigs.k8s.io/gossip/>, where Node service account credentials could be used by a container running in the cluster to retrieve sensitive
information from the state storage bucket and escalate to cluster-admin permissions.
