Summary

StreamsHub Console for Apache Kafka from 0.2.0 before 0.12.10 and from 0.13.0 before 0.14.2 is affected. The operator runs a tenant-supplied container image in a pod whose service account is bound to cluster-wide roles, which is improper privilege management (CWE-269). A Kubernetes tenant with permission to create Console custom resources can gain access to Strimzi control-plane resources across tenants.

Written with Claude Haiku 5.5 from the sources below · 2026-11-03

Description from the CNA

A Kubernetes tenant with create permission on Console custom resources can set spec.containers.api.spec.image to an arbitrary container image. The operator deploys this image into a pod whose ServiceAccount is bound via ClusterRoleBinding to a ClusterRole granting cluster-wide get/list/watch on all Strimzi CRDs (including KafkaUsers), patch on Kafkas/KafkaRebalances, and cluster-monitoring-view. The attacker's code reads the projected SA token and gains cross-tenant Strimzi control-plane read+write access.
