CVE-2026-66780

Submariner-operator: broker serviceaccount secret (token + ca) logged in full at trace verbosity

Published Aug 18, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A flaw was found in the submariner-operator component. The `submariner-k8s-broker-cluster` Role, which is assigned to joined clusters, possesses excessive permissions. This allows a compromised cluster to alter network configurations, specifically by overwriting other clusters' endpoint information. Consequently, an attacker can redirect inter-cluster tunnel traffic, enabling a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack across the entire cluster mesh.
