x/vulndb: potential Go vuln in github.com/open-feature/open-feature-operator: CVE-2023-29018

[GoVulnBot]

CVE-2023-29018 references github.com/open-feature/open-feature-operator, which may be a Go module.

Description:
The OpenFeature Operator allows users to expose feature flags to applications. Assuming the pre-existence of a vulnerability that allows for arbitrary code execution, an attacker could leverage the lax permissions configured on open-feature-operator-controller-manager to escalate the privileges of any SA in the cluster. The increased privileges could be used to modify cluster state, leading to DoS, or read sensitive data, including secrets. Version 0.2.32 mitigates this issue by restricting the resources the open-feature-operator-controller-manager can modify.
