Kubernetes v1.35: A Better Way to Pass Service Account Tokens to CSI Drivers https://kubernetes.io/blog/2026/01/07/kubernetes-v1-35-csi-sa-tokens-secrets-field-beta/
Kubernetes v1.35: A Better Way to Pass Service Account Tokens to CSI Drivers
If you maintain a CSI driver that uses service account tokens, Kubernetes v1.35 brings a refinement you'll want to know about. Since the introduction of the TokenRequests feature, service account tokens requested by CSI drivers have been passed to them through the volume_context field. While this has worked, it's not the ideal place for sensitive information, and we've seen instances where tokens were accidentally logged in CSI drivers.
Kubernetes v1.35 introduces a beta solution to address this: CSI Driver Opt-in for Service Account Tokens via Secrets Field.

Kubernetes v1.35: Restricting executables invoked by kubeconfigs via exec plugin allowList added to kuberc
Did you know that kubectl can run arbitrary executables, including shell scripts, with the full privileges of the invoking user, and without your knowledge? Whenever you download or auto-generate a kubeconfig, the users[n].exec.command field can specify an executable to fetch credentials on your behalf. Don't get me wrong, this is an incredible feature that allows you to authenticate to the cluster with external identity providers. Nevertheless, you probably see the problem: Do you know exactly what executables your kubeconfig is running on your system?
