CVE-2026-10090

CRITICAL9.9

Published 2026-08-05 · Source secalert@redhat.com

Description

A flaw was found in the Application Subscription controller (multicluster-operators-subscription) of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (ACM). A user with namespace-scoped "edit" privileges in an ACM hub namespace can create a Channel resource pointing to a Helm repository they control and a Subscription resource referencing it. The app-subscription controller fetches and applies the Helm chart contents with its own elevated authority, without verifying whether the subscription creator holds the "open-cluster-management:subscription-admin" role and without restricting applied resources to the subscription namespace. This allows the attacker to include cluster-scoped resources in the Helm chart, such as a ClusterRoleBinding granting the attacker's ServiceAccount the "cluster-admin" ClusterRole. Successful exploitation results in full cluster-admin privilege escalation. This contradicts the ACM documentation which states that non-subscription-admin users should have resources deployed into the subscription namespace only.

CVE-2026-44945
A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Rancher's impersonation middleware (pkg/auth/requests/impersonate.go). An authenticated Rancher user with the default user global role can gain full administrative access to the Rancher control plane and transitively to all downstream clusters it manages. This issue affects Rancher: from 2.11.0 before 2.11.16, from 2.12.0 before 2.12.12, from 2.13.0 before 2.13.8, and from 2.14.0 before 2.14.2.

CVE-2026-10059
A flaw was found in the Multicluster Engine for Kubernetes ClusterCurator controller. A tenant administrator with namespace-scoped privileges can exploit this vulnerability by creating a namespaced ClusterCurator. This action inadvertently grants the tenant administrator the ability to mint a token for a ServiceAccount with cluster-wide administrative authority. This leads to a privilege escalation, allowing the tenant administrator to gain full control over the cluster.

CVE-2026-71214
The Aerie/PlanDev sequencing-server's authorization middleware (sequencing-server/src/app.ts) derives the caller's Hasura session role via getHasuraSession(), which prefers a session_variables object taken directly from the client-supplied JSON request body over the Authorization header's JWT claims, with no verification that the request actually originated from Hasura. By setting {"session_variables":{"x-hasura-role":"aerie_admin"}} in the body of a request to POST /command-expansion/put-expansion with no Authorization header, an unauthenticated attacker satisfies the role check and can insert arbitrary expansion rules into sequencing.expansion_rule, which govern how spacecraft activities are translated into commands. Separately, POST /put-dictionary is explicitly listed in the ENDPOINTS_WHITELIST and is exempt from any authentication, allowing unauthenticated writes of command dictionaries.

CVE-2026-71213
Typemill's login endpoint (POST /tm/login, ControllerWebAuth::login()) performs no rate-limiting, failed-attempt counting, or account lockout when captcha is disabled, which is the default configuration. An unauthenticated attacker can send unlimited password-guessing requests against any account, including administrators, with no throttling. The only attempt-counting/lockout logic present in the same file protects an optional secondary email-authcode step and does not apply to the primary password check.

CVE-2026-71207
The Stock-Inventory-Management-System application's login.php assigns raw $_POST username/password values to $_SESSION and builds its authentication query by directly concatenating those session values into a SQL statement with no parameterization or escaping. An unauthenticated remote attacker can submit a payload such as ' OR '1'='1 in the login form to bypass authentication entirely. The same script additionally contains hardcoded administrative credentials (admin/neola) in a post-login conditional check, providing a second, independent full-authentication-bypass path.
