SCA: security update for io.strimzi:strimzi (GHSA-mw9r-p8xp-wx96)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443552

Description

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

 - Strimzi provides a way to run an Apache Kafka cluster on Kubernetes or OpenShift in various deployment
 configurations. In Strimzi 1.0.0 and earlier, an attacker who can create a Kafka custom resource can set
 Kafka.spec.entityOperator watchedNamespace to a target namespace, causing the Cluster Operator to create a
 Role with full Secret CRUD permissions there and bind it to the Entity Operator ServiceAccount in the
 attacker's namespace. The attacker can mint a token for that ServiceAccount and read or write Secrets in
 any target namespace where the Cluster Operator has been granted permissions, regardless of
 STRIMZI_NAMESPACE. This issue is fixed in versions 1.0.1 and 1.1.0. (CVE-2026-55225)

Solution

Update the io.strimzi:strimzi library and its related packages to version 1.0.1 or later.
