2. github.com/helm/helm: helm.sh/helm/v4: Helm: Arbitrary code execution due to insufficient plugin provenance verification

A flaw was found in Helm, a package manager for Kubernetes. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a malicious plugin that lacks a provenance file. Even when signature verification is enabled, Helm would incorrectly install this unverified plugin, bypassing critical security checks. This could lead to arbitrary code execution within the Kubernetes environment, allowing an attacker to gain unauthorized control.
