DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw was found in the provider-credential-controller component of multicluster-engine (MCE). An attacker with specific permissions on the hub cluster, and knowledge of a prior credential value, could exploit an authorization bypass vulnerability. By manipulating copiedFrom labels, the attacker could intercept newly rotated provider credentials, leading to unauthorized information disclosure. This allows access to sensitive credentials that should otherwise be protected.

AnalysisAI

Credential interception in Red Hat Multicluster Engine for Kubernetes (MCE) exposes newly rotated provider credentials through an authorization bypass in the provider-credential-controller component. An attacker with specific hub cluster permissions and prior knowledge of a credential value can manipulate copiedFrom labels to hijack the credential rotation process, gaining unauthorized read access to sensitive credentials scoped across managed clusters. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain low-privilege hub cluster RBAC role
Delivery
Acquire prior provider credential value
Exploit
Manipulate copiedFrom labels on credential objects
Execution
Wait for admin-triggered credential rotation event
Persist
Intercept newly rotated credentials via poisoned label
Impact
Access cloud provider infrastructure with stolen credentials

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) the attacker holds specific low-privilege permissions on the MCE hub cluster sufficient to create or modify labels on credential-related objects, confirmed by PR:L in the CVSS vector - this is not default anonymous or guest access but a defined RBAC role on the hub; (2) the attacker possesses prior knowledge of an existing credential value, implying either a prior breach, insider access, or an earlier credential disclosure event - this is the knowledge prerequisite driving AC:H; (3) a hub cluster administrator triggers a provider credential rotation, satisfying the UI:R requirement and creating the window during which the intercepted credential can be captured. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS score of 5.8 (Medium) accurately reflects a chain of compounding prerequisites: high attack complexity (AC:H, requiring foreknowledge of a prior credential value), a low but non-zero privilege foothold on the hub cluster (PR:L), and a required user interaction (UI:R, likely the credential rotation event initiated by an administrator). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has obtained low-privilege access to the hub cluster and possesses knowledge of an existing provider credential value crafts or modifies a `copiedFrom` label on a credential object, poisoning the provider-credential-controller's provenance logic. When a legitimate administrator subsequently initiates a provider credential rotation - satisfying the UI:R prerequisite - the manipulated label causes the controller to expose the newly rotated credential in a location or context the attacker can read, effectively intercepting the fresh secret before it propagates securely. …
Remediation Consult the Red Hat Security advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-19130 and Bugzilla report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2512105 for vendor-released patch details; no specific fixed version number was confirmed in available intelligence, so patch availability and target upgrade version must be verified directly with Red Hat. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
