DescriptionCVE.org

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. …

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. …
