A flaw was found in cluster-backup-operator. A namespace administrator with privileges in the open-cluster-management-backup namespace can exploit a feature in the Restore Custom Resource (CR). By setting the cleanupBeforeRestore field to CleanupAll, an attacker can trigger an unguarded, cluster-wide deletion of all Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (ACM) and Hive-labelled Secrets and ConfigMaps. This leads to a denial of service across the entire hub cluster by removing critical resources.
