CVE-2026-6389 (GCVE-0-2026-6389)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-04-30 21:17 – Updated: 2026-05-01 16:37

Title

IBM Turbonomic Prometurbo agent used by IBM Turbonomic Application Resource Management is affected by a single vulnerability

Summary

IBM Turbonomic prometurbo agent 8.16.0 through 8.17.6 IBM Turbonomic Application Resource Management grants excessive cluster‑wide permissions, including unrestricted read access to all secrets. An attacker that compromises the operator or its service account can exfiltrate sensitive credentials, escalate privileges, and potentially achieve full cluster compromise.

Severity ?

8.8 (High)
