Summary

Vulnerability in the OpenShift Cloud Credential Operator Mint-mode IAM policies for AWS. Operator credentials are provisioned with account-wide scope for destructive actions instead of being restricted to cluster-owned resources, enabling cross-scope impact after credential compromise.

Risk Assessment

Risk of privilege escalation and impact on AWS resources outside the OpenShift cluster if operator credentials are compromised.

Recommendation

Switch to a mode other than Mint-mode or restrict IAM policy scope to cluster-owned resources only.
