A flaw was found in multicluster-observability-addon. This vulnerability allows a managed-cluster identity to reference configuration resources outside its designated namespace. This can lead to the disclosure of sensitive hub Secrets to an attacker-controlled managed cluster.
AnalysisAI
Cross-namespace secret disclosure in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes allows a managed-cluster agent holding low privileges to craft configuration references that point to hub Secrets outside its authorized namespace, delivering those Secrets to an attacker-controlled managed cluster. The vulnerability resides in the multicluster-observability-addon component, which previously processed ManagedClusterAddOn.status.configReferences and fetched referenced objects before enforcing any namespace boundary, allowing cross-cluster credential theft from the hub. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a managed-cluster agent identity (PR:L per CVSS) with write access to ManagedClusterAddOn.status.configReferences on the hub, or control over the managed cluster agent process that sets those references. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.7 with S:C and C:H accurately captures a lateral-movement threat: once a managed cluster is compromised, the adversary can pivot to harvest hub-level Secrets containing credentials for other clusters or shared infrastructure, multiplying the blast radius well beyond the initially compromised endpoint. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | The upstream code fix is available in PR #644 at https://github.com/stolostron/multicluster-observability-addon/pull/644, which adds the ValidateConfigNamespaces() function to reject configReferences pointing outside the allowed namespaces before any manifest generation occurs. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, audit your ACM deployments for managed cluster agents and verify privilege levels are restricted to minimum necessary; review recent configReferences logs for suspicious cross-namespace references. …
