Vulnerability in multicluster engine (CVE-2026-73267)
Summary
Vulnerability in multicluster engine (CVE-2026-73267). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via spec.namespace.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
A flaw was found in the clusterclaims-controller component of multicluster engine (MCE). A tenant with standard permissions to create and delete ClusterClaim resources can exploit this by manipulating the spec.namespace field. This allows the tenant to specify and delete any ManagedCluster, including the hub's local-cluster or other tenants' clusters, due to a missing ownership check. This vulnerability can lead to a denial of service by enabling unauthorized deletion of ManagedClusters.
