Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 5: improper privilege management

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"
