Description

An input validation vulnerability exists in Openshift Enterprise due to a 1:1 mapping of tenants in Hawkular Metrics and projects/namespaces in OpenShift. If a user creates a project called "MyProject", and then later deletes it another user can then create a project called "MyProject" and access the metrics stored from the original "MyProject" instance.
