high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 436071

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - 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. (CVE-2025-2843)
