Description

A flaw was found in the clusterclaims-controller component of Multicluster Engine (MCE). An authenticated tenant can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating ClusterClaim labels.

Such unauthorized access could enable the injection of policies and workloads into other tenants' clusters.
