Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.33% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Red Hat Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.11 and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: As exposure requiresRemediation target: Within 365 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

Summary
A flaw was found in the multicloud-operators-channel component. This vulnerability allows a user with specific permissions to manipulate how the system handles sensitive information, known as Secrets, across different parts of the system (namespaces). By exploiting this, an attacker can modify these Secrets in unauthorized areas. This could lead to unauthorized access to information or elevated privileges within the system.
Remediation
Before you apply this update, make sure all previously released errata that are relevant to your system are applied. For details on how to apply this update, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

What, why and how

A flaw was found in the multicloud-operators-channel component. This vulnerability allows a user with specific permissions to manipulate how the system handles sensitive information, known as Secrets, across different parts of the system (namespaces). By exploiting this, an attacker can modify these Secrets in unauthorized areas. This could lead to unauthorized access to information or elevated privileges within the system.

What

A flaw was found in the multicloud-operators-channel component. This vulnerability allows a user with specific permissions to manipulate how the system handles sensitive information, known as Secrets, across different parts of the system (namespaces). By exploiting this, an attacker can modify these Secrets in unauthorized areas. This could lead to unauthorized access to information or elevated privileges within the system.

Why

The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may gain additional privileges.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path

CWE-639 ↗

CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key. The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.
