AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, restrict delegated editor permissions carefully and monitor for unauthorized use of ServiceAccount tokens. Follow vendor guidance once updates or patches are released.

Description

A missing authorization flaw was found in the OpenShift Cluster Logging Operator. The operator creates and forwards ServiceAccount tokens to output destinations without verifying that the ClusterLogForwarder creator has permission to use those credentials, allowing a delegated editor to exfiltrate SA tokens and escalate privileges.
