Summary

Red Hat Data Grid 8 with the Infinispan Operator passes keystore and truststore passwords as plain-text command-line arguments to the Gossip Router container when cross-site TLS is enabled (CWE-214). Those arguments are stored in the Pod spec, so a user with get pods permission in the namespace can read the passwords without get secrets permission. Node-level processes and audit or event logs can also capture them.

Description from the CNA

A flaw was found in the Infinispan Operator for Red Hat Data Grid. When cross-site (xsite) TLS is enabled, the operator launches the Gossip Router container with keystore and truststore passwords passed as plain-text command-line arguments (`-tls_keystore_password`, `-tls_truststore_password`). Container args are stored in the Pod spec and visible to any principal with `get pods` permission in the namespace (no `get secrets` required), to node-level processes via `/proc/<pid>/cmdline`, and frequently captured in audit/event logs.
