CVE-2026-92171

Infinispan-operator: infinispan operator: sensitive information disclosure due pod args store

Published Oct 26, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A flaw was found in the Infinispan Operator for Red Hat Data Grid. When cross-site (xsite) TLS is enabled, the operator launches the Gossip Router container with keystore and truststore passwords passed as plain-text command-line arguments (`-tls_keystore_password`, `-tls_truststore_password`). Container args are stored in the Pod spec and visible to any principal with `get pods` permission in the namespace (no `get secrets` required), to node-level processes via `/proc/<pid>/cmdline`, and frequently captured in audit/event logs.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

To mitigate this issue, restrict Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) permissions for `get pods` within the namespace where the Infinispan Operator is deployed. Grant `get pods` access only to users and service accounts that explicitly require it, thereby limiting the exposure of sensitive keystore and truststore passwords.
