- kube-apiserver: the `NodeRestriction` admission plugin now prevents kubelets from modifying `Node` labels prefixed with `node-restriction.kubernetes.io/`. The `node-restriction.kubernetes.io/` label prefix is reserved for cluster administrators to use for labeling `Node` objects to target workloads to nodes in a way that kubelets cannot modify or spoof.

- Allowed dynamic configuration of the service account name and audience that the kubelet could request a token for, as part of the node audience restriction feature. ([#130485](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130485), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase)) [SIG Auth and Testing]

### Detection

Kubernetes Audit logs may indicate if the user name was misspelled to bypass the restriction placed on which user is a pod allowed to run as.

 - Selector mutation is disabled for all kinds in the
 app/v1beta2 group version, because the controllers in the workloads API do not handle
 selector mutation in
 a consistent way. This restriction may be lifted in the future, but
 it is likely that that selectors will remain immutable after the move to v1.
 You can continue to use code that depends on mutable selectors by calling
