Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.48% 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: Within 30 daysRemediation target: Within 180 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 of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM). This vulnerability allows a compromised agent from a managed cluster to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. Specifically, the agent can read all Secrets and ConfigMaps within any Channel namespace on the hub, potentially exposing credentials for other tenants' Git and Helm repositories. This could lead to significant information disclosure.
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 of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM). This vulnerability allows a compromised agent from a managed cluster to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. Specifically, the agent can read all Secrets and ConfigMaps within any Channel namespace on the hub, potentially exposing credentials for other tenants' Git and Helm repositories. This could lead to significant information disclosure.

What

A flaw was found in the multicloud-operators-channel component of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM). This vulnerability allows a compromised agent from a managed cluster to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. Specifically, the agent can read all Secrets and ConfigMaps within any Channel namespace on the hub, potentially exposing credentials for other tenants' Git and Helm repositories. This could lead to significant information disclosure.

Why

The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may obtain information outside the intended access boundary.

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-269 ↗

CWE-269: Improper Privilege Management. The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
