Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CVE-2025-26521 is a significant vulnerability that impacts Apache CloudStack user accounts when they create a CloudStack Kubernetes Service (CKS) based Kubernetes cluster within a project. This vulnerability arises from the misuse of the ‘kubeadmin’ user’s API key and secret key during the creation of the secret config in the CKS-based Kubernetes cluster. The vulnerability is of significant concern as it can potentially lead<\/a> to system compromise or data leakage if exploited by an attacker who is a member of the same project.<\/p>\n
