+=== HashiCorp Vault Template Injection
+
+Vault template injection via agent injection typically involves injecting a sidecar container,
+known as the Vault Agent, alongside your main application container.
+The Vault Agent is responsible for interacting with HashiCorp Vault to retrieve secrets and inject them into the application's runtime environment.
+
+Can you find secret injected into application environment?

+This challenge can be solved using the following steps:
+
+1. Run `kubectl get pods -A` and find secret-challenge-xxx pod name
+
+2. Run `kubectl exec secret-challenge-xxx -c secret-challenge -n default -- cat vault/secrets/challenge46` where `xxx` is the rest of the randomly generated pod name.
+to print injected secrets from vault.
+
+Note: if you are running this on a hosted environment, where you do not have access to the Kubernetes cluster, ask the organizer of the hosted solution to execute the commands for you and return the results.

+*Why Vault Template Injection is not always a good idea?*
+
+While Vault agent injection via templates can be a convenient way to manage secrets in certain scenarios,
+there are situations where it might not be the best approach.
+
+Templates might accidentally expose sensitive information in logs or temporary files.
+If not properly configured, secrets could end up in places where they are accessible by unauthorized users or processes.
+
+Let's consider an example involving a template injection attack in a scripted language like PHP:
+
+. Imagine a scenario where PHP application uses a template with sensitive information
+* where template can look like this: $password = "'; system('rm -rf /'); //"
+. When the template is processed it can become:
+* $connection = "password='; system('rm -rf /'); //"
+
+To prevent such issues its crucial to ensure that the values retrieved from Vault are properly validated.
