Machine-written summary

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

The vault-secrets-webhook Go package (github.com/bank-vaults/vault-secrets-webhook) before 1.23.1 accepts an attacker-supplied Vault address from the vault-addr annotation on ConfigMaps and Secrets without validation, so the webhook makes outbound HTTP calls to that address during admission. A user who can create or update ConfigMaps or Secrets in a watched namespace can use this to make the webhook send requests to arbitrary destinations and, when the vault-serviceaccount annotation is set, to capture ServiceAccount tokens. Upgrade to version 1.23.1 or later.
