Hunt injection through Kubernetes packaging templates and their values: an untrusted value rendered into a manifest without quoting so it injects YAML structure, a value that flows into a container command, an annotation, or an RBAC rule and grants more than intended, and a chart that renders privileged security context or host access from a caller-supplied value. Covers Helm-style templating where a values file or a user-supplied override is rendered into Kubernetes manifests, and where an…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Hunting Helm template and values injection: when a value becomes a manifest Kubernetes packaging templates turn a values file into manifests, and that rendering is a text transformation with the same injection hazards as any templating: a value spliced in without quoting can break out of its intended field and inject new YAML structure, and a value that flows into a sensitive field can grant more than the author intended. When the values come from a place a tenant, a pipeline, or a user can influence, an override that self-service platforms and multi-tenant chart deployments commonly allow, the rendered manifest can gain a privileged security context, a host mount, an extra RBAC rule, or an altered container command. The manifest looks authored by the chart, but part of it was supplied by the caller. You hunt this by tracing untrusted values into the template and finding where they become structure or reach a sensitive field. ## When to use - Charts render Kubernetes manifests from values that a tenant, pipeline, or user can influence or override. - A values field is rendered into a manifest without quoting, or into a command, annotation, or RBAC rule. …

How to install
mdr add unboundcompute/security-agent-skills/hunting-helm-template-and-values-injection@sha256:48aaea7b33fae2ecThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.b5f41a4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
