CVE-2026-67567

Multicloud-operators-subscription: multicloud-operators-subscription: helmrelease chart applied with controller sa without gvk or namespace restriction

Published Aug 20, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 9.9 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A flaw was found in the multicloud-operators-subscription component. This vulnerability allows a tenant, who has the ability to create HelmRelease custom resources (CRs), to bypass existing security controls. The system's HelmRelease controller processes Helm chart templates using its own elevated ServiceAccount privileges without proper validation. This enables the tenant to deploy arbitrary resources across the entire cluster, leading to a significant security compromise.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

To mitigate this issue, restrict the ability of untrusted tenants to create `HelmRelease` custom resources within the cluster. Implement strict Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) policies to limit which users or service accounts can create or modify `HelmRelease` objects. This will prevent unauthorized users from leveraging the controller's elevated privileges for cluster-wide resource deployment.
