Odh-training-operator-rhel9: rhoai fork aggregates training job create onto native edit/admin clusterroles

Assigner: redhat
Reserved: 05.08.2026 Published: 10.08.2026 Updated: 11.08.2026

A flaw was found in the RHOAI training-operator. This vulnerability allows a user with standard edit or admin roles in any Kubernetes namespace to escalate their privileges. Through the creation of training jobs, an attacker can impersonate service accounts, access the host filesystem, and potentially execute arbitrary code remotely. This issue arises from the aggregation of training job permissions onto native Kubernetes edit and admin ClusterRoles, coupled with unrestricted PodTemplateSpec passthrough.
