Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI): privilege escalation
High8.8CVE-2026-18950 · Published Aug 10, 2026 · updated Aug 19, 2026
A flaw was found in odh-dashboard. An authenticated user of the dashboard can exploit a vulnerability related to how RoleBindings are created. The system does not properly validate the `roleRef` field, allowing a user to specify an arbitrary role, including highly privileged ones like `cluster-admin`. This can lead to privilege escalation, where an attacker gains unauthorized elevated access within their namespace and potentially persistent control over the system.
