Observability Operator is vulnerable to Incorrect Privilege Assignment through its Custom Resource MonitorStack
CVE-2025-2843 · GHSA-mj6p-p843-x5wc
- Affected
- Go github.com/rhobs/observability-operator < 1.3.0
- Fixed in
- 1.3.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- A flaw was found in the Observability Operator. The Operator creates a ServiceAccount with ClusterRole upon deployment of the Namespace-Scoped Custom Resource MonitorStack. This issue allows an adversarial Kubernetes Account with only namespaced-level roles, for example, a tenant controlling a namespace, to create a MonitorStack in the authorized namespace and then elevate permission to the cluster level by impersonating the ServiceAccount created by the Operator, resulting in privilege escalation and other issues.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.3.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
