kubectl does not neutralize escape, meta or control sequences contained in the raw data it outputs to a terminal. This includes but is not limited to the unstructured string fields in objects such as Events.

Patch has landed: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/commit/dad0e937c0f76344363eb691b2668490ffef8537

Seems it will be in 1.26.
Comment 3 John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-11-05 16:56:15 UTC 
Patch is in 1.26.0, and <1.26 branches aren't supported anymore according to https://kubernetes.io/releases/. Please cleanup.

No GLSA as it's not clear how exploitable/impactful this is.
