### API Change

- Fixed a bug where CEL expressions in CRD validation rules would incorrectly compute a high estimated cost for functions that return strings, lists or maps.
  The incorrect cost was evident when the result of a function was used in subsequent operations. ([#119810](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119810), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Cloud Provider]
