The version of Kubernetes installed on the remote host is a version prior to 1.12.9, or 1.13.x prior to 1.13.6, or 1.14.x prior to 1.14.2. It is, therefore, affected by a directory traversal vulnerability in the kubectl cp command due to mishandling of symlinks when copying files from a running container. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to use kubectl cp with a malicious container to overwrite arbitrary files on the remote host.
