CVE-2026-77968— Hawtio-operator: hawtio-operator: cluster-wide secrets read/write granted to operator serviceaccount

Quick assessment

Affected
Red Hat Red Hat build of Apache Camel - HawtIO 4
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

在 hawtio-operator 中发现一个缺陷：该 Operator 的 ClusterRole 授予了在所有命名空间中对 Secrets 执行 [create, get, list, update, watch] 操作的权限。虽然该 Operator 使用基于 controller-runtime 的 label-selector 缓存作为内存优化手段，但其 ServiceAccount 令牌已授权对集群中所有 Secrets 的读取访问权限。此外，该 Operator 还会通过直接调用 API 来绕过缓存机

Vulnerability Title
Hawtio-operator: hawtio-operator: cluster-wide secrets read/write granted to operator serviceaccount
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
A flaw was found in hawtio-operator. The operator's ClusterRole grants secrets: [create, get, list, update, watch] across all namespaces. While the operator uses a controller-runtime label-selector cache as a memory optimization, the ServiceAccount token authorizes read access to every Secret in the cluster. The operator also bypasses the cache via direct API calls. Compromise of the operator pod would yield read access to every Secret in the cluster, including bootstrap tokens, cloud credentials, and other operators' secrets.
