Vulnerability in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (CVE-2026-66787)
Summary
Vulnerability in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (CVE-2026-66787). Confidential information can be exposed externally.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
A flaw was found in the lighthouse component of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes. This vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of advertised IP addresses within EndpointSlice objects. A compromised spoke cluster can exploit this by creating EndpointSlices with attacker-controlled IP addresses, causing other clusters' lighthouse DNS to redirect legitimate service traffic to malicious endpoints. This enables a remote attacker to conduct transparent Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks on cross-cluster service communications, potentially leading to unauthorized information disclosure and data manipulation.
