Vincent von Büren was refactoring an old Helm chart when he spotted a debug log line printing a Kubernetes ServiceAccount token to stdout — still running in production.

He decoded it: no audience restrictions, one-year expiry. "My stomach turned. I knew this could be a serious security incident."

In this episode, Vincent breaks down:

- What's actually inside a ServiceAccount JWT
- Why default tokens enable replay attacks
- Projected tokens — the solution that's been available since 1.20, but why most teams haven't switched
- Practical steps to reduce exposure
