OpenShift Cluster Logging Operator can leak service account tokens

CVE-2026-10609 · published 4 months ago
Summary

The OpenShift Cluster Logging Operator can forward service account credentials to logging destinations without checking who created the forwarding rule. This means a user with limited editing rights could steal those credentials and gain higher access across the system. Review and restrict who can create or modify log forwarding configurations, and rotate any exposed service account tokens.

What to do
  • Update github.com openshift to version 0.0.0-20260804174055-1864c2a9851d.

Original advisory text
OpenShift Cluster Logging Operator missing authorization flaw
A missing authorization flaw was found in the OpenShift Cluster Logging Operator. The operator creates and forwards ServiceAccount tokens to output destinations without verifying that the ClusterLogForwarder creator has permission to use those credentials, allowing a delegated editor to exfiltrate SA tokens and escalate privileges.
