Their is an information disclosure vulnerability in Helm from version 3.1.0 and before version 3.2.0. `lookup` is a Helm template function introduced in Helm v3. It is able to lookup resources in the cluster to check for the existence of specific resources and get details about them. This can be used as part of the process to render templates. The documented behavior of `helm template` states that it does not attach to a remote cluster. However, a the recently added `lookup` template function circumvents this restriction and connects to the cluster even during `helm template` and `helm install|update|delete|rollback --dry-run`. The user is not notified of this behavior. Running `helm template` should not make calls to a cluster. This is different from `install`, which is presumed to have access to a cluster in order to load resources into Kubernetes. Helm 2 is unaffected by this vulnerability. A malicious chart author could inject a `lookup` into a chart that, when rendered through `helm template`, performs unannounced lookups against the cluster a user's `KUBECONFIG` file points to. This information can then be disclosed via the output of `helm template`. This issue has been fixed in Helm 3.2.0

The Helm core maintainers have identified an information disclosure vulnerability in Helm 3.0.0-3.1.2. ### Impact `lookup` is a Helm template function introduced in Helm v3. It is able to lookup resources in the cluster to check for the existence of specific resources and get details about them. This can be used as part of the process to render templates. The documented behavior of `helm template` states that it does not attach to a remote cluster. However, as the recently added `lookup` template function circumvents this restriction and connects to the cluster even during `helm template` and `helm install|update|delete|rollback --dry-run`. The user is not notified of this behavior. Running `helm template` should not make calls to a cluster. This is different from `install`, which is presumed to have access to a cluster in order to load resources into Kubernetes. Helm 2 is unaffected by this vulnerability. A malicious chart author could inject a `lookup` into a chart that, when rendered through `helm template`, performs unannounced lookups against the cluster a user's `KUBECONFIG` file points to. This information can then be disclosed via the output of `helm template`. ### Patches This issue has been fixed in Helm 3.2.0 ### Workarounds Due to another bug (also fixed in Helm 3.2.0), the command `helm lint` will fail with an error if the `lookup` function is used in a chart. Therefore, run `helm lint` on an untrusted chart before running `helm template`. Alternately, setting the `KUBECONFIG` environment variable to point to an empty Kubernetes configuration file will prevent unintended network connections. Finally, a chart may be manually analyzed for the presence of a `lookup` function in any file in the `templates/` directory. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [the Helm repository](https://github.com/helm/helm/issues) * For security-specific issues, email us at [cncf-helm-security@lists.cncf.io](mailto:cncf-helm-security@lists.cncf.io)

Hay una vulnerabilidad de divulgación de información en Helm desde la versión 3.1.0 y versiones anteriores a la versión 3.2.0. "lookup" es una función de plantilla de Helm introducida en Helm versión v3. Puede buscar recursos en el clúster para comprobar la existencia de recursos específicos y obtener detalles sobre ellos. Esto puede ser usado como parte del proceso para renderizar plantillas. El comportamiento documentado de "helm template" afirma que no se adjunta a un clúster remoto. Sin embargo, la función de plantilla "lookup" agregada recientemente evita esta restricción y se conecta al clúster aún durante "helm template" y "helm install|update|delete|rollback --dry-run". El usuario no es notificado de este comportamiento. Al ejecutar "helm template" no debería hacer llamadas a un clúster. Esto es diferente de "install", que se supone que tiene acceso a un clúster para cargar recursos en Kubernetes. Helm versión 2 no está afectado por esta vulnerabilidad. Un autor de gráfico malicioso podría inyectar una "lookup" en un gráfico que, cuando es renderizado por medio de "helm template", realiza búsquedas no anunciadas contra el clúster al que apunta un archivo "KUBECONFIG" de user's. Esta información puede ser revelada por medio de la salida de "helm template". Este problema se ha corregido en Helm 3.2.0
