CVE-2026-61682: kcp front-proxy does not strip inbound X-Remote-* identity headers, allowing any authenticated client to inject groups/warrants and impersonate system:masters in any workspace

September 18, 2026

The kcp front-proxy fails to strip client-supplied identity headers before forwarding requests to shards. Any authenticated tenant can inject their own X-Remote-Group and X-Remote-Extra-* headers, which the shard trusts as a verified identity assertion — allowing a low-privilege user to escalate to cluster administrator (system:masters) and read, write, or delete resources in any workspace on the shard. This is a complete multi-tenant isolation and authorization bypass.
