CVE-2026-15140
A privilege-escalation issue in the Portworx Operator when deployed on Red Hat OpenShift (OCP). Only under specific conditions during the initial provisioning of a Portworx storage cluster, a user holding only limited, namespace-scoped permissions could cause the operator to grant broader access than intended, potentially resulting in elevated privileges within the Kubernetes cluster.
