MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated Nomad or Nomad Enterprise user who already holds read permissions in at least one namespace (per CVSS PR:L); it is not reachable by anonymous or unauthenticated clients. The bypass affects specific read-only API endpoints, so only those endpoints leak cross-namespace object information - the sources do not enumerate exactly which endpoints or which object types are exposed. Impact is limited to information disclosure (C:L, no integrity or availability effect), and the issue is primarily meaningful in multi-tenant deployments that rely on namespaces as a security boundary; single-tenant or single-namespace clusters have little to disclose. The only complete fix stated by the vendor is upgrading to a fixed version. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but low-to-moderate priority issue, not a high-CVSS-but-low-risk inflation case - the CVSS base score of 4.3 is itself modest and honest. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) tells a consistent story: network-reachable and low-complexity, but requiring low privileges (PR:L - an authenticated user who already holds read permissions in at least one namespace) and yielding only limited confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effect. The flaw is a cross-namespace authorization bypass (CWE-863) in several read-only API endpoints, so the real-world harm is information disclosure of objects in namespaces the user should not see - not code execution, data modification, or disruption. No EPSS score, KEV listing, POC, or SSVC machine-readable decision was supplied, so there is no signal of active or probable exploitation; the only priority signal is the vendor-feed 'this_month' decision label, which aligns with a patch-at-next-cycle posture rather than emergency response. The signals do not conflict - a low-privilege, read-only, confidentiality-only weakness with no exploitation evidence is coherently a standard-patch-cycle item. The main unknown is how sensitive the leaked cross-namespace metadata is in a given deployment, which the sources do not quantify. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated Nomad user who legitimately holds read permissions in one namespace sends requests to the affected read-only API endpoints and receives information about objects (jobs, allocations, or related metadata) belonging to other namespaces they are not authorized to view. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and the attack requires valid credentials with at least read access, making it most relevant in multi-tenant clusters where namespace isolation is a trust boundary. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026
Cross-namespace authorization bypass in HashiCorp Nomad and Nomad Enterprise read-only API endpoints allows an authenticated user who holds read permissions in one namespace to view information about objects in other namespaces. Nomad Community Edition before 2.1.0 and Nomad Enterprise before 2.1.0, 1.11.12, and 1.10.18 are affected, with a CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 reflecting confidentiality-only, low-impact disclosure. The issue requires a valid authenticated account with existing read access (PR:L) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so practical risk is concentrated in multi-tenant clusters that rely on namespaces as a security boundary.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Nomad Community Edition 2.1.0, or Nomad Enterprise 2.1.0, 1.11.12, or 1.10.18, selecting the release that matches your supported branch. The fixed versions and the scope of the issue are documented in HashiCorp advisory HCSEC-2026-51 at https://discuss.hashicorp.com/t/hcsec-2026-51-nomad-vulnerable-to-cross-namespace-information-disclosure-in-multiple-endpoints/77929. Upgrading is the only complete fix stated by the vendor, and the available advisory data does not describe a workaround or compensating control; until the upgrade is applied, exposure remains limited to authenticated users who already hold read access in at least one namespace, which constrains but does not remove the disclosure risk in multi-tenant deployments.

Technical ContextAI · show details
HashiCorp Nomad is a workload orchestrator and scheduler whose ACL model uses namespaces to partition jobs, allocations, and related objects between tenants. CVE-2026-102260 is a CWE-863 incorrect authorization defect in which several read-only API endpoints do not correctly scope authorization checks to the caller's namespace, so a token with read rights in one namespace can retrieve information about objects belonging to another. The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N confirms the path is network-reachable but requires an authenticated principal with low privileges, and there is no integrity or availability impact. The advisory does not enumerate which endpoints or object types are affected, so the precise trigger is not described in the available sources; the practical consequence is limited to information disclosure and matters primarily where namespaces are used as a tenant isolation boundary.
