external-secrets 0.0.12 Helm chart

quench-external-secretsVerified publisher

Scored 18 Sept 2026

External Secrets Operator: syncs secrets from external APIs (Vault, cloud secret managers, and more) into Kubernetes Secrets via ExternalSecret/SecretStore CRDs. Hardened by QuenchWorks as a minimal, nonroot, 0-CVE image, cosign-signed and pinned by digest. Runs the single ESO binary as three deployments (controller, webhook, cert-controller); the cert-controller manages the webhook's self-signed CA, so no cert-manager dependency is required.
