Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
An improper input validation vulnerability was discovered in Kubernetes. In Kubernetes and the OpenShift Container Platform, terminal escape sequence characters are not sanitized in various object-free text fields. This flaw allows an authenticated user to include escape sequence characters in free text fields that are later displayed by the `kubectl` or `oc` binaries. This issue allows spoofing and obscuring `kubectl` output.

Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2022-01-19 13:49:27 UTC 
kubectl does not neutralize escape, meta or control sequences contained in the raw data it outputs to a terminal. This includes but is not limited to the unstructured string fields in objects such as Events.
