Other sources

It was found that OpenShift Container Platform versions 3.6.x - 4.6.0 does not perform SSH Host Key checking when using ssh key authentication during builds. An attacker, with the ability to redirect network traffic, could use this to alter the resulting build output.

OpenShift builds don't seem to cache the SSH key of the git repository. This allows an attacker who can MiTM, take over DNS etc to supply their own content.
