CVE-2026-18382 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 6.8) affecting cost management metrics operator. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
A flaw was found in koku-metrics-operator. The operator's CostManagementMetricsConfig custom resource allows a user able to edit the CR to specify an arbitrary OAuth token endpoint. When authentication.type is set to service-account, the operator sends the tenant's Red Hat SSO client_id and client_secret to this user-controlled URL, allowing the attacker to obtain the credentials.
