Doc Text:
An input validation vulnerability exists in Openshift Enterprise due to a 1:1 mapping of tenants in Hawkular Metrics and projects/namespaces in OpenShift. If a user creates a project called "MyProject", and then later deletes it another user can then create a project called "MyProject" and access the metrics stored from the original "MyProject" instance.

Description Kurt Seifried 2017-07-13 00:11:06 UTC 
A user can create a project named "myProject", use that project for a while and then delete it. After the original project is deleted, another user can create a project called "myProject". Since the subjectaccessreview will now pass for this second user, they will be able to access metrics from the original project.
