A flaw was found in acm-operator-bundle. The build process for this component downloads and runs a script from a remote source without verifying its authenticity or integrity. This script gains access to sensitive credentials, such as GitHub access tokens and registry passwords, used in the build environment. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious code, leading to unauthorized access to build resources and potential compromise of the resulting operator bundle.
AnalysisAI
The acm-operator-bundle build pipeline within Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2 fetches and executes a remote script without any cryptographic integrity or authenticity verification (CWE-829), exposing privileged build credentials - including GitHub access tokens and container registry passwords - to attacker-controlled code. An adversary able to compromise the remote script host or intercept the fetch in transit can inject arbitrary code that runs inside the privileged build environment and poisons the resulting operator bundle, extending the blast radius to downstream Kubernetes clusters that consume it (CVSS S:C). …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the attacker can control what is served at the specific remote URL the acm-operator-bundle build pipeline fetches - achieved either by compromising the upstream script hosting server, executing DNS cache poisoning against the build host's resolver, or achieving a MITM position on the network path between the build agent and the remote server. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.0 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) captures several important nuances: AC:H reflects that exploitation is non-trivial - the attacker must either compromise the upstream script server or achieve a MITM position on the build network path; PR:H indicates that meaningful exploitation requires the attacker to hold control over the remote script source, limiting opportunistic mass exploitation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has compromised the server hosting the remote build script, or who can intercept the fetch via DNS poisoning or a MITM on the build network segment, substitutes the legitimate script with a malicious version that reads and exfiltrates environment variables containing GitHub tokens and registry credentials to an attacker-controlled endpoint. The attacker then uses those credentials to push backdoored container images to the registry or access source repositories, and the resulting operator bundle - now containing malicious content - is distributed to downstream Kubernetes clusters that apply it through normal ACM reconciliation. … |
| Remediation | The primary fix is to apply the patched acm-operator-bundle version from Red Hat for ACM 2.x; consult the advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-76139 for the exact fixed release, as a specific patch version is not confirmed in the available input data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
