CVE-2026-66794 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.3/10 on the CVSS scale. A flaw was found in the `cluster-proxy-addon` component of Multicluster Engine for Kubernetes. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker, who can access the user-facing route, to bypass authentication and authorization checks. EPSS estimates a 0.41% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

A flaw was found in the `cluster-proxy-addon` component of Multicluster Engine for Kubernetes. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker, who can access the user-facing route, to bypass authentication and authorization checks. By manipulating URL path segments, the attacker can proxy requests to arbitrary services across any managed cluster. This enables unauthorized access to internal services that would otherwise be protected, potentially leading to information disclosure or further compromise of the cluster environment.
