Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Contrast (Go module github.com/edgelesssys/contrast) versions before 1.9.1 are vulnerable. On a bare metal Contrast deployment, when an image declares a VOLUME and Kubernetes provides no mount at that path, the host can write arbitrary data into that mount point. Upgrade to version 1.9.1, which disallows this configuration in contrast generate. Without upgrading, explicitly mount an emptyDir at every VOLUME location.
