Published: 08/12/2026 (08/12/2026, 21:46:19 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Red Hat
Product: Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2

Description

A flaw was found in insights-client. The component's ServiceAccount is bound to a ClusterRole granting cluster-wide secrets get, list, and watch permissions, while the code only requires access to a single specific Secret. This excessive privilege means that a compromise of the insights-client pod or ServiceAccount token would grant an attacker read access to all Secrets across the hub cluster, including managed-cluster kubeconfigs and other sensitive credentials.
