CVE-2026-15218
HighCVSS 7.9Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk36th percentile - higher than 36% of all known CVEs
Summary
A flaw was found in the maas-api and maas-controller ServiceAccounts within Red Hat OpenShift AI. These ServiceAccounts are granted cluster-wide permissions that exceed their operational requirements. An attacker who compromises the identity of these ServiceAccounts, either through a remote code execution vulnerability or by creating a malicious pod in the same namespace, could exploit these excessive permissions. This could lead to full cluster administrator privileges through the creation of new ClusterRoleBindings or the disclosure of sensitive information by accessing all secrets across the cluster.
Risk Assessment
Compromise of these service accounts could lead to full control of the OpenShift AI cluster, including access to all secrets and privilege escalation.
Recommendation
Restrict the permissions of maas-api and maas-controller service accounts to the minimum required and regularly audit permissions.
