Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This flaw can let a normal cluster user make Red Hat’s runtimes inventory component send commands using cluster administrator credentials. The business risk is unauthorized changes to cluster configuration or reported status in the Red Hat management platform. Treat this as high priority for environments using the listed Red Hat Runtimes Inventory or Lightspeed for Runtimes operator packages.
Executive priority
Prioritize remediation for affected clusters because the flaw can convert ordinary cluster access into administrator-level actions against the Red Hat management platform. Focus first on production clusters and environments with many non-admin cluster users.
Technical view
CVE-2025-11393 is an improper proxy configuration issue in runtimes-inventory operators. The proxy attaches the cluster’s main administrative credentials to commands it receives, not only intended reports. CVSS 3.1 is 8.7: AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N. Red Hat maps it to CWE-441.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to clusters running the affected Red Hat Runtimes Inventory Operator or Red Hat Lightspeed for Runtimes 1.0 packages. An attacker needs standard user access within the cluster and adjacent access per the CVSS vector.
Exploitation context
The bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. The likely abuse path is a low-privileged cluster user causing the proxy to forward unauthorized management commands with administrator-level credentials.
Researcher notes
Evidence supports a confused-deputy style proxy issue: administrative credentials are added too broadly. Public details in the bundle do not include exploit code, fixed build identifiers, or confirmed exploitation. Use Red Hat advisory and Bugzilla for version-specific remediation details.
Mitigation direction
- Review and apply Red Hat guidance in RHSA-2025:23236.
- Identify deployments of the affected runtimes-inventory operator packages.
- Restrict who can interact with the operator or internal proxy until remediated.
- Review cluster RBAC for unnecessary standard-user access to this component.
- Monitor management-platform and cluster audit logs for unexpected non-admin changes.
Validation and detection
- Inventory clusters for Red Hat Runtimes Inventory Operator deployments.
- Compare deployed package and image versions against Red Hat’s affected product list.
- Check whether Red Hat’s RHSA-2025:23236 update is installed where applicable.
- Review audit logs for management commands initiated by non-admin users.
- Confirm standard users cannot reach or invoke the proxy component unnecessarily.
