The presentation discusses the process of validating vulnerabilities and implementing remediation in Kubernetes Ingress and nginx core.
The process of validating vulnerabilities involves a lot of back and forth conversations to determine if it is an actual vulnerability and if the fix works.
Allowing users to run arbitrary code is a valid configuration option, but protections need to be put in place to prevent nefarious actions.
The Kubernetes Ingress team is working on validating user input to prevent mounting tokens or accessing unauthorized namespaces.
The process of implementing remediation in nginx core involves qualifying the vulnerability, determining the threat level, and deciding on a fix.
The remediation process takes around two weeks and involves careful consideration to prevent any mistakes that could affect millions of websites.
