CVE-2025-2843 – Observability-operator: observability operator privilege escalation

CVE ID : CVE-2025-2843

Published : Nov. 12, 2025, 5:15 p.m. | 16 minutes ago

Description : A flaw was found in the Observability Operator. The Operator creates a ServiceAccount with *ClusterRole* upon deployment of the *Namespace-Scoped* Custom Resource MonitorStack. This issue allows an adversarial Kubernetes Account with only namespaced-level roles, for example, a tenant controlling a namespace, to create a MonitorStack in the authorized namespace and then elevate permission to the cluster level by impersonating the ServiceAccount created by the Operator, resulting in privilege escalation and other issues.

Severity: 8.8 | HIGH
