<VulnDiscussion>Secrets, such as passwords, keys, tokens, and certificates should not be stored as environment variables. These environment variables are accessible inside RKE2 by the "Get Pod" API call, and by any system, such as CI/CD pipeline, which has access to the definition file of the container.
