CVE-2026-17107 Details
Description
A flaw was found in the cluster-proxy service-proxy component used in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) and multicluster-engine (MCE). The service-proxy appends impersonation group headers to proxied requests without first removing caller-supplied values, and the spoke ServiceAccount holds unrestricted impersonation permissions. An authenticated hub principal can inject an Impersonate-Group header to escalate to cluster-admin on every managed cluster.
A vulnerability exists in the cluster-proxy service-proxy component of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) and Multicluster Engine (MCE). The issue arises because the service-proxy appends impersonation group headers to proxied requests without removing caller-supplied values first. This flaw is compounded by the spoke ServiceAccount's unrestricted impersonation permissions. As a result, an authenticated hub principal can inject an Impersonate-Group header to gain cluster-admin privileges on all managed clusters.
