Doc Text:
A cross-namespace authorization flaw has been identified in the MARIN3R operator’s DiscoveryServiceCertificate resource. The flaw occurs because the operator mistakenly treats certain inputs as valid, bypassing Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). When a user has permission to create DiscoveryServiceCertificate objects in one Kubernetes namespace, they could exploit the vulnerability to indirectly read Secret objects in other namespaces that they should not have access to.
