CVE-2026-75886
HIGH 7.2A flaw was found in openshift/console. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit a misconfiguration in the CatalogdHandler, which lacks proper authentication, and the forwarding of the `openshift-session-token` cookie. This allows the attacker to send requests to the in-cluster catalogd service, leading to the disclosure of the internal operator-catalog index and providing a relay into the openshift-catalogd namespace.
Severe if exploited (CVSS 7.2), but no known exploitation and low modeled probability. Patch on a normal cadence.
