DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw was found in the Submariner operator. This vulnerability allows for the exposure of a long-lived broker service account (SA) bearer token within the Submariner Custom Resource (CR) specification. An attacker with access to the cluster's etcd database or through kubectl get commands could obtain this token. The possession of this token grants full control over the mesh network, enabling unauthorized management of network resources such as endpoints and secrets.

AnalysisAI

Cleartext storage of a long-lived broker service account bearer token in the Submariner Custom Resource specification exposes full mesh network control to any Kubernetes principal with CR read access. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2 (RHACM 2) is confirmed affected via CPE. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate to Kubernetes cluster with valid credentials
Delivery
Issue kubectl get on Submariner Custom Resource
Exploit
Extract plaintext broker SA bearer token from CR spec
Execution
Authenticate to Submariner broker API using token
Persist
Enumerate and manipulate cross-cluster endpoints and secrets
Impact
Achieve full control over multi-cluster mesh network

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must be an authenticated Kubernetes user with at minimum `get` permission on Submariner Custom Resources within the namespace where Submariner is deployed, OR must have direct read access to the cluster's etcd database. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (score 7.8) accurately captures the attack profile: cluster-level authenticated access is required (PR:L), attack complexity is low, and no user interaction is needed once access is established. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated developer or operator with standard `kubectl get` permissions on the Submariner CR namespace issues a routine resource inspection command and observes the plaintext broker service account token embedded in the CR's `.spec` fields. The attacker then uses this token to authenticate directly to the Submariner broker API, gaining full administrative rights over the multi-cluster mesh network and enabling interception or manipulation of cross-cluster traffic and secrets. …
Remediation The primary remediation is to apply the vendor-supplied patch from Red Hat once released; monitor https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-66782 for errata. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit RBAC policies to restrict read access to Submariner Custom Resources and related secrets; document all current access holders. …
