How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 governance-policy-propagator.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream governance-policy-propagator package and not the governance-policy-propagator package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The grc-policy-propagator allows security escalation within the cluster. The propagator allows policies which contain some dynamically obtained values (instead of the policy apply a static manifest on a managed cluster) of taking advantage of cluster scoped access in a created policy. This feature does not restrict properly to lookup content from the namespace where the policy was created.
