Summary
Red Hat Multicluster Global Hub operator bundle is affected. The operator's role-based access control (RBAC) permissions are overly broad, granting cluster-wide impersonation of any user, group and service account without restriction (CWE-269). An attacker who compromises the operator or obtains its service account credentials can escalate privileges to full administrative control over the cluster.

Description from the CNA
A flaw was found in multicluster-global-hub-operator-bundle. The operator is configured with overly broad role-based access control (RBAC) permissions that grant cluster-wide impersonation of arbitrary users, groups, and service accounts without restriction. An attacker who compromises the operator or obtains its service account credentials can exploit this flaw to achieve privilege escalation, gaining full administrative control over the cluster.
