Kubernetes v1.35 introduces a beta credential plugin policy and allowlist to give users control over executables invoked by kubeconfig exec plugins. You can set policy via the client-go ExecProvider.PluginPolicy or by configuring kubectl's kuberc with credentialPluginPolicy (AllowAll, DenyAll, Allowlist) and credentialPluginAllowlist entries to restrict which plugins may run.
