Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-08 15:33 – Updated: 2026-10-08 15:33

Details

The insights-operator-gather ClusterRole grants the operator's service account read access to secrets in the core API group with no namespace or resourceNames restriction — therefore, access to every secret in every namespace in the cluster.

Ref: https://github.com/openshift/insights-operator/blob/8f15e3157ff09f54ab22801f5b21da35a195cc6d/manifests/03-clusterrole.yaml#L368-L373

- apiGroups:
  - ""
  resources:
  - secrets
  verbs:
  - get
  - list

By spawning a pod with the gather service account mounted, an attacker will be able to access any secret in any namespace.

spec:
 serviceAccountName:"gather"

Severity

7.7 (High)
