CVE-2026-66787Lighthouse: lighthouse: cross-cluster dns spoofing via unvalidated endpointslice ip addresses

Red Hat Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.16; Red Hat Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.17 Published: (2 months ago)

Description

A flaw was found in the lighthouse component of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes. This vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of advertised IP addresses within EndpointSlice objects. A compromised spoke cluster can exploit this by creating EndpointSlices with attacker-controlled IP addresses, causing other clusters' lighthouse DNS to redirect legitimate service traffic to malicious endpoints. This enables a remote attacker to conduct transparent Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks on cross-cluster service communications, potentially leading to unauthorized information disclosure and data manipulation.

Weakness (CWE): CWE-345
