Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI): privilege escalation

High8.8CVE-2026-18949 · Published Aug 10, 2026 · updated Aug 14, 2026

A flaw was found in odh-dashboard. This vulnerability allows an attacker, who has compromised the dashboard's Service Account (SA) token, to exploit overly broad permissions granted to the SA. This enables the attacker to escalate their privileges to cluster-administrator level, gain access to sensitive data like credentials and keys across the entire cluster, and disrupt multi-tenant isolation.
