Stolostron/multicluster-observability-addon: cross-namespace secret disclosure in multicluster-observability-addon via unvalidated configuration references

Published Sep 11, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.7 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A cross-namespace authorization flaw in multicluster-observability-addon allows a user with permission to modify a managed cluster’s ManagedClusterAddOn configuration to reference ClusterLogForwarder or OpenTelemetryCollector resources outside the permitted namespace. If those resources reference Secrets, the add-on may copy the referenced Secrets to the attacker-controlled managed cluster.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Disable MCOA log-forwarding and tracing capabilities that use ClusterLogForwarder or OpenTelemetryCollector resources.

Description A cross-namespace authorization flaw in multicluster-observability-addon affects log-forwarding and tracing configurations that use ClusterLogForwarder or OpenTelemetryCollector resources. An authorized user who can modify ManagedClusterAddOn configuration could reference resources in another hub namespace, potentially disclosing associated Secrets to an attacker-controlled managed cluster.

Description A flaw was found in multicluster-observability-addon. This vulnerability allows a managed-cluster identity to reference configuration resources outside its designated namespace. This can lead to the disclosure of sensitive hub Secrets to an attacker-controlled managed cluster.
