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.
