[GoVulnBot]

Advisory GHSA-mj6p-p843-x5wc references a vulnerability in the following Go modules:

Module
github.com/rhobs/observability-operator

Description:
A flaw was found in the Observability Operator. The Operator creates a ServiceAccount with ClusterRole upon deployment of the Namespace-Scoped Custom Resource MonitorStack. This issue allows an adversarial Kubernetes Account with only namespaced-level roles, for example, a tenant controlling a namespace, to create a MonitorStack in the authorized namespace and then elevate permission to the cluster level by impersonating the ServiceAccount created by the Operator, resulting in privilege escalation and other issues.
