CVE-2026-10079

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

A flaw was found in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (RHACS). When processing Kubernetes Deployments, ACS replaces deployment identity metadata based on the openshift.io/encoded-deployment-config label. A user with permission to create Deployments can set this label to "null", causing ACS to treat the workload as having empty UID, name and labels and namespace "default". This bypasses deploy-time policy detection and enforcement visibility, prevents correct persistence in Central and breaks violation reporting and compliance correlation for the affected deployment.

      "value": "Se encontró una vulnerabilidad en Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security para Kubernetes (RHACS). Al procesar despliegues de Kubernetes, ACS reemplaza los metadatos de identidad del despliegue basándose en la etiqueta openshift.io/encoded-deployment-config. Un usuario con permiso para crear despliegues puede establecer esta etiqueta en ’null’, lo que provoca que ACS trate la carga de trabajo como si tuviera UID, nombre y etiquetas vacíos y el espacio de nombres ’default’. Esto elude la detección de políticas en tiempo de despliegue y la visibilidad de la aplicación, impide la persistencia correcta en Central y rompe la notificación de infracciones y la correlación de cumplimiento para el despliegue afectado."
