CVE-2026-71845

Vendor solution

Ensure glog verbosity on the insights-client Deployment is set below level 2 (-v=0 or -v=1). If CCX_TOKEN must be configured for disconnected environments, restrict access to pod logs in the open-cluster-management namespace and to centralized logging backends.

Red Hat statement

This is a Moderate flaw in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes. The insights-client component logs the CCX_TOKEN bearer credential in clear text at startup when glog verbosity is set to level 2 or higher. This credential is used by disconnected cluster deployments as an alternative to cloud.redhat.com. An attacker with access to pod logs or centralized logging could obtain the credential and use it to access the CCX API on behalf of the affected organization.

Red Hat mitigation

Ensure glog verbosity on the insights-client Deployment is set below level 2 (-v=0 or -v=1). If CCX_TOKEN must be configured for disconnected environments, restrict access to pod logs in the open-cluster-management namespace and to centralized logging backends.
