CVE-2026-76827

Search-indexer: search-indexer: update/delete operations not scoped to caller's cluster (cross-tenant data tampering)

Published Aug 19, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.8 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A flaw was found in search-indexer. This vulnerability allows a registered and authenticated managed cluster to tamper with or delete another cluster's indexed search data. This is possible because the delta-sync write paths in search-indexer do not properly restrict UPDATE/DELETE operations to data owned by the calling cluster. An attacker could exploit this by crafting specific user identifiers (UIDs) with a different cluster's prefix.
