Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw was found in the clusterclaims-controller component of Multicluster Engine (MCE). An authenticated tenant can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating ClusterClaim labels. This allows the tenant to force a cluster to join a ManagedClusterSet belonging to another tenant. Such unauthorized access could enable the injection of policies and workloads into other tenants' clusters.
AnalysisAI
Unauthorized cross-tenant cluster takeover in Red Hat Multicluster Engine (MCE) for Kubernetes allows an authenticated tenant to force a managed cluster into another tenant's ManagedClusterSet by manipulating ClusterClaim labels. The clusterclaims-controller processes these label changes without enforcing tenant ownership boundaries, enabling the attacker to then inject policies and workloads into clusters they do not own. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated tenant account on a Red Hat Multicluster Engine hub (PR:L from CVSS vector) - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.1 score is supported by a vector of AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N, which appropriately reflects the scope change (S:C) as the vulnerability crosses tenant isolation boundaries to affect clusters owned by other parties. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated tenant on a shared MCE hub crafts a ClusterClaim resource with labels forged to reference a ManagedClusterSet owned by a separate tenant, then submits it via the standard Kubernetes API. The clusterclaims-controller, acting as a privileged intermediary, processes the label change and moves the targeted cluster into the foreign ManagedClusterSet without validating ownership boundaries. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to apply the patch released by Red Hat for the clusterclaims-controller component; consult the official advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-73266 for the specific fixed MCE version, as no exact patch version was confirmed in the available intelligence. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all deployments of Red Hat MCE for Kubernetes and identify instances managing multiple tenant clusters; confirm current versions and document cluster-to-tenant mapping for risk assessment. …
