CVE-2025-2241 is a high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.2) in Hive, a component of Multicluster Engine (MCE) and Advanced Cluster Management (ACM), that exposes VCenter credentials within ClusterProvision objects after a VSphere cluster is provisioned. This allows users with read access to these objects to extract sensitive credentials, leading to unauthorized VCenter access, cluster management, and potential privilege escalation, despite not having direct access to Kubernetes Secrets. The attack requires low privileges and high attack complexity, but the impact is significant, compromising confidentiality and integrity. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
