CVE-2026-73137Multicloud-operators-subscription: multicloud-operators-subscription: cross-namespace secret exfiltration via helmrelease.repo.secretref.namespace
High 7.7
In plain English
A high-severity information exposure in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.11 from Red Hat. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.5% (higher than 45% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
A flaw was found in the multicloud-operators-subscription component of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM). A tenant with HelmRelease create permissions can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating the `secretRef.Namespace` field. This allows the `GetSecret()` function in the HelmRelease controller to fetch sensitive credentials from any namespace, which are then sent to an attacker-controlled Helm repository. This can lead to the exfiltration of credentials from arbitrary namespace Secrets, resulting in information disclosure.
