# CVE-2026-71846

## Summary

- **CVE ID:** CVE-2026-71846
- **Severity:** MEDIUM
- **CVSS Score:** 6.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N)
- **CWE:** CWE-250
- **Published:** Aug 12, 2026
- **Last Modified:** Sep 5, 2026

## Description

A flaw was found in insights-client. The component's ServiceAccount is bound to a ClusterRole granting cluster-wide secrets get, list, and watch permissions, while the code only requires access to a single specific Secret. This excessive privilege means that a compromise of the insights-client pod or ServiceAccount token would grant an attacker read access to all Secrets across the hub cluster, including managed-cluster kubeconfigs and other sensitive credentials.
