Doc Text:
The `insights-operator-gather` ClusterRole grants the operator's service account read access to secrets in the core API group with no namespace or resourceNames restriction — therefore, access to every secret in every namespace in the cluster. Ref: https://github.com/openshift/insights-operator/blob/8f15e3157ff09f54ab22801f5b21da35a195cc6d/manifests/03-clusterrole.yaml#L368-L373 ``` - apiGroups: - "" resources: - secrets verbs: - get - list ``` By spawning a pod with the gather service account mounted, an attacker will be able to access any secret in any namespace. ``` spec: serviceAccountName:"gather" ```

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-13 21:22:01 UTC
FIND-001 from Project Glasswing AI-SAST audit of openshift/insights-operator (audit date 2026-06-09, commit unknown). The insights-operator-gather ClusterRole, bound to ServiceAccount openshift-insights, grants cluster-wide get/list on secrets and nodes/proxy. While the operator gathers diagnostic data from the cluster, access to all secrets cluster-wide exceeds what is needed for telemetry collection.
