Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-05-19 07:44 - Updated: 2026-05-19 10:47Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: Assisted Installer RHEL 8 components for Multicluster Engine for Kubernetes 2.9.4
Severity
Important
Notes
Topic: Assisted installer RHEL 8 components for the multicluster engine for Kubernetes 2.9.4 General Availability release, with updates to container images.
Details: Assisted Installer RHEL 8 integrates components for the general multicluster engine
for Kubernetes 2.9.4 release that simplify the process of deploying OpenShift Container
Platform clusters.
The multicluster engine for Kubernetes provides the foundational components
that are necessary for the centralized management of multiple
Kubernetes-based clusters across data centers, public clouds, and private
clouds.
You can use the engine to create new Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
clusters, or to import existing Kubernetes-based clusters for management.
After the clusters are managed, you can use the APIs that
are provided by the engine to distribute configuration based on placement
policy.

A vulnerability in the assisted-service REST API, an optional Assisted Installer (assisted-service) component in the Multicluster Engine (MCE), allows an authenticated user with minimal namespace-scoped privileges to obtain administrative credentials for arbitrary clusters provisioned through the hub. The credentials download endpoint (GET /v2/clusters/{cluster_id}/credentials, which returns the kubeadmin password) and the kubeconfig download endpoint are operational in AUTH_TYPE=local mode, the only authentication mode available in on-premises ACM/MCE hub deployments. The local authenticator unconditionally grants full administrative access to any request bearing a valid JWT, with no per-endpoint restrictions. A valid local JWT is embedded as a plaintext query parameter in InfraEnvStatus.ISODownloadURL and is readable by any user who has get rights on an InfraEnv object in their own namespace. The affected components ship as part of Multicluster Engine (MCE). The Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (ACM) deployments that include MCE are equally affected. This issue does not affect the hosted SaaS offering (console.redhat.com), which uses a different authentication mode. Successful exploitation gives the attacker the kubeadmin password and kubeconfig for any OpenShift cluster provisioned through the affected hub, granting unrestricted root-level administrative access to those spoke clusters.

Threats
Impact
Important
A flaw was found in Go JOSE, a library for handling JSON Web Encryption (JWE) objects. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted JWE object. When decrypting such an object, if a key wrapping algorithm is specified but the encrypted key field is empty, the application can crash. This leads to a denial of service (DoS), making the affected service unavailable to legitimate users.
