CVE-2026-71577 PUBLISHED

Multicluster-global-hub: multicluster-global-hub: spec-topic read acl leaks bootstrap kubeconfigs to all managed hubs during migration

Assigner: redhat
Reserved: 07.08.2026 Published: 10.08.2026 Updated: 11.08.2026

A flaw was found in multicluster-global-hub. During a ManagedClusterMigration, the system incorrectly grants all managed hubs read access to a shared communication topic. This allows a compromised managed hub to intercept and collect sensitive bootstrap kubeconfigs, which contain API server tokens intended for other hubs. These tokens have an extended validity of approximately 9.86 years, significantly increasing the risk of unauthorized access and information disclosure to other managed clusters.
