High [CVE-2026-18949] ClusterRole grants cluster-wide CRUD on secrets and RBAC management resources
CVE-2026-18949Source published Source updated
A flaw was found in odh-dashboard. This vulnerability allows an attacker, who has compromised the dashboard's Service Account (SA) token, to exploit overly broad permissions granted to the SA. This enables the attacker to escalate their privileges to cluster-administrator level, gain access to sensitive data like credentials and keys across the entire cluster, and disrupt multi-tenant isolation. A compromised dashboard Service Account could read and delete sensitive secrets across the cluster and create `ClusterRoleBindings`, leading to full cluster-admin privilege escalation and breaking multi-tenant isolation. This risk is present in Red Hat OpenShift AI deployments with the dashboard component enabled. Red Hat severity: Critical — CVSS 8.8…

- Mitigation guidance
- To mitigate this issue, restrict access to the `opendatahub` namespace to limit potential compromise of the dashboard pod. Implement egress `NetworkPolicy` rules to control and restrict outbound network traffic from the dashboard. Additionally, configure audit log alerting to monitor for and detect any unexpected creation of `ClusterRoleBindings` within the cluster.
