CVE-2026-18949
Odh-dashboard: odh-dashboard: clusterrole grants cluster-wide crud on secrets and rbac management resources
High 8.8
A flaw was found in odh-dashboard. This vulnerability allows an attacker, who has compromised the dashboard's Service Account (SA) token, to exploit overly broad permissions granted to the SA. This enables the attacker to escalate their privileges to cluster-administrator level, gain access to sensitive data like credentials and keys across the entire cluster, and disrupt multi-tenant isolation.
