In Kubernetes, schema info is cached by kubectl in the location specified by –cache-dir (defaulting to $HOME/.kube/http-cache), written with world-writeable permissions (rw-rw-rw-).

To copy files from a container, Kubernetes creates a tar inside the container, copies it over the network, and kubectl unpacks it on the user's machine. If the tar binary in the container is malicious, it could run any code and output unexpected, malicious results. An attacker could use this to write files to any path on …
