Gitops-operator: gitops-operator: missing allowednamespace check in reconcilerhook for clusterrole/role cases enables potential privilege escalation and dos PUBLISHED

Description (CNA)

A flaw was found in the OpenShift GitOps operator. The ClusterRole reconciler does not validate resource ownership when reconciling ClusterRole objects.
