## Overview

The Tempo Operator's gateway component failed to consistently apply namespace-scoped redaction on some query API response paths when query RBAC was enabled, allowing an authenticated user to read span attributes belonging to other tenants' namespaces.

## Affected

- `rhosdt/tempo-operator-bundle (all versions)`
- `rhosdt/tempo-rhel9-operator (all versions)`

## Remediation

Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.

### Workarounds

There is no mitigation or workaround other than upgrading to tempo-operator.v0.21.0-2 (or later); until upgraded, administrators requiring strict namespace isolation of trace data should not rely on query RBAC alone and should consider restricting access to the Tempo query API at the network/route level as a temporary compensating control.
