CVE-2026-10059: cluster-curator-controller: cluster-curator-controller: namespace admin can escalate to cluster-wide curator authority via ClusterCurator ServiceAccount token

Severity: Critical

CVSS Score: 9.1

A flaw was found in the Multicluster Engine for Kubernetes ClusterCurator controller. A tenant administrator with namespace-scoped privileges can exploit this vulnerability by creating a namespaced ClusterCurator. This action inadvertently grants the tenant administrator the ability to mint a token for a ServiceAccount with cluster-wide administrative authority. This leads to a privilege escalation, allowing the tenant administrator to gain full control over the cluster.
