CVE-2026-18608: Data-science-pipelines-operator: dspo: operator clusterrole grants pods/exec:*, kubeflow.org */*, and clusterrole/binding crud cluster-wide

Description

A flaw was found in the Data Science Pipelines Operator (DSPO). The operator's ClusterRole, which defines its permissions, includes extensive privileges beyond what is necessary for its operation. These excessive permissions, such as the ability to execute commands within pods and manage cluster-wide roles, could be exploited. If the DSPO pod were compromised, an attacker could leverage these privileges to gain full administrative control over the entire Kubernetes cluster.
