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.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `infinispan-server-core (all versions)`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nTo 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.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":36,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":35.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
