QID 995400: GO (Go) Security Update for github.com/openshift/apiserver-library-go (GHSA-92hx-3mh6-hc49)

An authentication bypass vulnerability was discovered in kube-apiserver. This issue could allow a remote, authenticated attacker who has been given permissions "update, patch" the "pods/ephemeralcontainers" subresource beyond what the default is. They would then need to create a new pod or patch one that they already have access to. This might allow evasion of SCC admission restrictions, thereby gaining control of a privileged pod.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
