Information Disclosure in github.com/grafana/tempo-operator (CVE-2025-2842)
Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/grafana/tempo-operator (CVE-2025-2842). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.16.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
A flaw was found in the Tempo Operator. When the Jaeger UI Monitor Tab functionality is enabled in a Tempo instance managed by the Tempo Operator, the Operator creates a ClusterRoleBinding for the Service Account of the Tempo instance to grant the cluster-monitoring-view ClusterRole.
This can be exploited if a user has 'create' permissions on TempoStack and 'get' permissions on Secret in a namespace (for example, a user has ClusterAdmin permissions for a specific namespace), as the user can read the token of the Tempo service account and therefore has access to see all cluster metrics.
