CVE-2026-107176

Status: Awaiting AnalysisMedium (6.8)—

A flaw was found in the cluster-samples-operator. The RBAC Role coreos-pull-secret-reader in namespace openshift-config grants get, list, and watch permissions on all Secret resources without resourceNames scoping. The operator only requires access to the pull-secret Secret. If the samples-operator pod or its service account token is compromised through a separate vulnerability, an attacker could read all secrets in openshift-config, potentially including OAuth identity provider credentials, cloud provider credentials, and other sensitive cluster configuration.

CVSS

Version: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
Base score: 6.8

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.16%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 5
Score date: 10/14/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
