Summary

Podman contains a symbolic link traversal vulnerability when the kube play command is used with a 'ConfigMap' or secret volume mount. A remote attacker could exploit this by creating a malicious symbolic link on the volume in order to overwrite the contents of arbitrary files, however the attacker can not control the content that will be written to the file. The contents are defined in the yaml file by the end user.
