This blog analyzes how OPA Gatekeeper's k8sallowedrepos policy can be bypassed due to prefix-based Rego functions and misconfigured constraint values (notably missing trailing slashes), demonstrates domain and Docker Hub namespace bypass scenarios, compares related risks in Kyverno, and provides mitigations including a new k8sallowedreposv2 policy and scanning recommendations.
