Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Open Cluster Management (OCM) when a user has access to the worker nodes which contain the cluster-manager or klusterlet deployments. The cluster-manager deployment uses a service account with the same name "cluster-manager" which is bound to a ClusterRole also named "cluster-manager", which includes the permission to create Pod resources. If this deployment runs a pod on an attacker-controlled node, the attacker can obtain the cluster-manager's token and steal any service account token by creating and mounting the target service account to control the whole cluster.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-10-10 20:36:13 UTC
The Deployment named "cluster-manager" uses a ServiceAccount with the same name ("cluster-manager"). This ServiceAccount is bound to a ClusterRole also named "cluster-manager," which includes the permission to create Pod resources.

Therefore, if this Deployment runs a pod on an attacker-controlled node, the attacker can obtain the cluster-manager's token and steal any sa's token by creating and mounting target sa and even control the whole cluster.
