CVE-2026-73267 PUBLISHED

Clusterclaims-controller: clusterclaims-controller: managedcluster deletion keyed solely on clusterclaim.spec.namespace with no ownership check

Assigner: redhat
Reserved: 11.08.2026 Published: 21.08.2026 Updated: 21.08.2026

A flaw was found in the clusterclaims-controller component of multicluster engine (MCE). A tenant with standard permissions to create and delete ClusterClaim resources can exploit this by manipulating the spec.namespace field. This allows the tenant to specify and delete any ManagedCluster, including the hub's local-cluster or other tenants' clusters, due to a missing ownership check. This vulnerability can lead to a denial of service by enabling unauthorized deletion of ManagedClusters.
