Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 contains CVE-2026-93017, a high-severity flaw with a 7.7 CVSS score. The vulnerability arises from overly broad permissions in the insights-operator-gather ClusterRole, which grants the operator's service account unrestricted read access to secrets in every namespace. An attacker can exploit this by spawning a pod that mounts the service account to retrieve all secrets.
