Write access to this socket will grant full control over system configuration.
This includes the ability to define an arbitrary source for a host container, and to run that container with "superpowers" that bypass other restrictions.
These "superpowers" are described [below](#limit-use-of-host-containers).
For Kubernetes variants, it also includes the ability to define and run static pods.
These are managed directly by `kubelet` and are not subject to admission controllers that enforce security policies for the cluster.
