## Summary:
Kubernetes docs has Spanish translation available. One of the page of spanish doc has an external reference to a confluence page.

4. You will be redirected to `https://sysdigdocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Platform),/overview`

## Impact
As an attacker, I can host malicious content on the confluence page to misguide the user.
I can also, host details about installing malicious sdk or softwares, which user will think is part of the deployment docs as its referreded in kubernetes.io, this can lead to RCE for users who are referring to this doc
