Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-07 21:33 – Updated: 2026-10-07 21:33

Details

A flaw was found in the cluster-samples-operator. The RBAC Role coreos-pull-secret-reader in namespace openshift-config grants get, list, and watch permissions on all Secret resources without resourceNames scoping. The operator only requires access to the pull-secret Secret. If the samples-operator pod or its service account token is compromised through a separate vulnerability, an attacker could read all secrets in openshift-config, potentially including OAuth identity provider credentials, cloud provider credentials, and other sensitive cluster configuration.

Severity

6.8 (Medium)


                  
                    CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
