PR:H reflects that exploiting the ClusterRole requires prior control of the addon-manager pod; S:C because the RBAC permissions extend impact cluster-wide beyond the compromised pod; A:N because no availability impact is described.

DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw was found in managed-serviceaccount. A compromised addon-manager pod, due to its ClusterRole granting excessive permissions, can read any secret across all namespaces. Additionally, it can approve arbitrary Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs), which could lead to information disclosure and privilege escalation within the cluster.

AnalysisAI

Excessive ClusterRole permissions on the managed-serviceaccount addon-manager pod in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2 allow a compromised addon-manager to read secrets across every namespace and approve arbitrary Certificate Signing Requests, resulting in cluster-wide information disclosure and privilege escalation. The CVSS scope-change (S:C) reflects that a single compromised pod can affect the entire Kubernetes cluster, not just the addon namespace. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires prior compromise of the addon-manager pod within a Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2 deployment (mapped to PR:H in the CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.7 score is justified by the scope change and dual C:H/I:H impact, but the PR:H metric is the critical mitigating factor - an attacker must first achieve code execution inside the addon-manager pod before any of the overprivileged RBAC permissions can be abused. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who achieves code execution within the addon-manager pod - for example by exploiting a vulnerability in the addon-manager process or via a compromised container image - issues Kubernetes API calls using the pod's mounted service account token. They enumerate and exfiltrate Secrets across all namespaces (extracting credentials, API tokens, and TLS keys), then craft and submit a CSR for a synthetic identity with cluster-admin group membership, which they approve using the same overprivileged ClusterRole, obtaining a valid cluster certificate for unrestricted lateral movement.
Remediation Consult the Red Hat security advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-75924 for the vendor-released patched version of RHACM 2; a specific fix version is not confirmed in the available data so none is cited here. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit all Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2 addon-manager ClusterRole bindings to verify current permissions and identify any unauthorized access attempts in audit logs. …
