DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw was found in multicloud-operators-subscription. A privileged user, specifically a namespace administrator capable of creating Channel and Subscription resources, can exploit this vulnerability. By manipulating the Channel.Spec.SecretRef.Namespace field, the user can cause the system to copy sensitive Secret contents from other namespaces into their own, leading to information disclosure.

AnalysisAI

Secret exfiltration across Kubernetes namespace boundaries in the multicloud-operators-subscription component of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2 allows an authenticated namespace administrator to read Kubernetes Secrets from arbitrary namespaces outside their own authorization domain. By setting Channel.Spec.SecretRef.Namespace to a target namespace, the attacker causes the subscription controller to autonomously copy sensitive Secret contents into a namespace the attacker controls, violating the Kubernetes namespace isolation model. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate to Kubernetes API as namespace admin
Delivery
Create Channel resource with SecretRef.Namespace set to high-value target namespace
Exploit
Subscription controller processes Channel spec using cluster-level permissions
Execution
Controller copies Secret object from target namespace into attacker-controlled namespace
Impact
Attacker reads exfiltrated Secret credentials

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated user who holds at minimum namespace-level privileges sufficient to create Channel and Subscription custom resources within their namespace, as confirmed by the CVSS PR:L metric. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 7.7 score with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N accurately reflects the threat: the attack traverses the network via the Kubernetes API server, requires only low-complexity manipulation of a single resource field, and achieves a scope change that crosses namespace isolation boundaries to deliver high confidentiality impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A namespace administrator on a shared RHACM cluster creates a Channel resource in their own namespace and sets Channel.Spec.SecretRef.Namespace to a high-value target namespace - such as a namespace holding cloud infrastructure credentials or a production database Secret. The subscription controller, operating with cluster-scoped permissions, interprets that field as authoritative and copies the referenced Secret into the attacker's namespace, where the attacker reads it using standard kubectl commands. …
Remediation The primary remediation is to apply the vendor-released patch once confirmed available per the Red Hat advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-66878; no specific fixed version number was present in the available input data, so operators must monitor that advisory and the Bugzilla tracker at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2514226 for patch release details. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2 deployments in your environment and confirm whether they operate in multi-tenant mode with multiple administrative users across namespaces. …
