CVE-2026-71845: Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management For Kubernetes

High severity, CVSS 7.7. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A flaw was found in insights-client. The setDefault() function logs the value of every environment variable it processes, including CCX_TOKEN, a bearer credential used in disconnected cluster deployments. When glog verbosity is set to level 2 or higher, the token is written in clear text to the pod log on every startup. An attacker with access to pod logs or centralized logging could obtain the credential, leading to unauthorized access to the CCX API.
