Overview

github.com/helm/helm/pkg/plugin is a package manager for Kubernetes.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. Plugin names are not sanitized properly. As a result, a malicious plugin author could use characters in a plugin name that would result in unexpected behaviour, such as duplicating the name of another plugin or spoofing the output to helm --help.
