Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Kyverno versions before 1.16.2 contain a server-side request forgery flaw in the APICall feature, which fetches external data for policies without validating target URLs. A user who can create Policies, without cluster-admin rights, can make Kyverno's high-privilege ServiceAccount send requests to internal addresses, potentially reading other tenants' Secrets or cloud metadata credentials. Upgrade to Kyverno 1.16.2 or later.
