The Kubernetes access token is used to authenticate the GitLab agent for Kubernetes with a Kubernetes cluster. A malicious actor with access to this token can access source code in the agent's configuration project, access source code in any public project on the GitLab instance, or even, under very specific conditions, obtain a Kubernetes manifest. Exposing this value could allow attackers to gain access to all resources granted by this token.
