CVE-2026-66788 PUBLISHED

Lighthouse: lighthouse: arbitrary local-namespace injection via attacker-controlled labelsourcenamespace

Assigner: redhat
Reserved: 27.07.2026 Published: 20.08.2026 Updated: 20.08.2026

A flaw was found in Lighthouse. A remote attacker, by compromising a spoke cluster, can exploit a vulnerability where the destination namespace for resource injection is derived from an attacker-controlled label or annotation on the broker object. This allows the attacker to inject unauthorized EndpointSlices and ServiceImports into any namespace on peer clusters, including critical system namespaces like kube-system and openshift-*. This could lead to privilege escalation or other forms of system compromise within the cluster.
