A flaw was found in hypershift-addon-operator. A hub-cluster administrator with write access to the hypershift-operator-install-flags ConfigMap can inject malicious command-line arguments into the privileged install Job. This vulnerability, known as argument injection, allows the attacker to pull arbitrary container images and gain full administrative control (cluster-admin code execution) on managed spoke clusters.
