CVE-2026-66780: submariner-operator: submariner-operator: flat broker trust model grants every spoke full CRUD on all endpoints, secrets, and endpointslices in broker namespace

Severity: Critical

CVSS Score: 9.9

A flaw was found in the submariner-operator component. The `submariner-k8s-broker-cluster` Role, which is assigned to joined clusters, possesses excessive permissions. This allows a compromised cluster to alter network configurations, specifically by overwriting other clusters' endpoint information. Consequently, an attacker can redirect inter-cluster tunnel traffic, enabling a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack across the entire cluster mesh.
