Description
The `insights-operator-gather` ClusterRole grants the operator's service account read access to secrets in the core API group with no namespace or resourceNames restriction — therefore, access to every secret in every namespace in the cluster.
Ref: https://github.com/openshift/insights-operator/blob/8f15e3157ff09f54ab22801f5b21da35a195cc6d/manifests/03-clusterrole.yaml#L368-L373
```
- apiGroups:
- ""
resources:
- secrets

```
By spawning a pod with the gather service account mounted, an attacker will be able to access any secret in any namespace.
```
