Summary

A vulnerability exists in the MustGather.managed.openshift.io Custom Defined Resource (CRD) within OpenShift Dedicated. This flaw allows non-privileged users to create a MustGather object containing a specially crafted file. By doing so, these users can configure the most privileged service account to execute the job. This misconfiguration can lead to an escalation of privileges, effectively granting standard developer users the ability to act as cluster administrators and potentially pivot to the underlying AWS environment. Organizations utilizing OpenShift Dedicated must address this vulnerability to safeguard against unauthorized access and maintain a secure cloud infrastructure.
