Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-09-04 15:48:05 UTC 
The podman kube play command can overwrite host files when the kube file contains a ConfigMap or Secret volume mount and the volume already contains a symlink to a host file. This allows a malicious container to write to arbitrary files on the host but the attacker only controls the target path not the contents that will be written to file. The contents are defined in the yaml file by the end user.
