CVE-2026-76827

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

A flaw was found in search-indexer. This vulnerability allows a registered and authenticated managed cluster to tamper with or delete another cluster's indexed search data. This is possible because the delta-sync write paths in search-indexer do not properly restrict UPDATE/DELETE operations to data owned by the calling cluster. An attacker could exploit this by crafting specific user identifiers (UIDs) with a different cluster's prefix.

Esta vulnerabilidad permite a un clúster gestionado registrado y autenticado manipular o eliminar los datos de búsqueda indexados de otro clúster. Esto es posible porque las rutas de escritura de sincronización delta en search-indexer no restringen adecuadamente las operaciones de ACTUALIZACIÓN/ELIMINACIÓN a los datos propiedad del clúster que realiza la llamada. Un atacante podría explotar esto al crear identificadores de usuario específicos (UIDs) con el prefijo de un clúster diferente."
