Kubernetes C# client accepts certificates from any CA without properly verifying the trust chain

This flaw allows a malicious actor to present a forged certificate and potentially intercept or manipulate communication with the Kubernetes API server, leading to possible man-in-the-middle attacks and API impersonation.
