Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Strimzi versions before 1.0.1 give the Entity Operator ServiceAccount rights for both the Topic and User operators, even when only one is deployed. This may allow access to Secrets and KafkaUser resources, or to KafkaTopic resources, depending on which operator is missing. The source does not say what an attacker needs. Upgrade to 1.0.1 or 1.1.0; no workaround is listed.
