CVE-2026-71472 is an injection vulnerability in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2 affecting the acm-search-v2-rhel9 component. The flaw arises because the WORK_MEM string supplied through the Search Custom Resource is not properly validated before being incorporated into both a bash script and an SQL query. An authenticated attacker with sufficient privileges, such as a hub administrator or a Search Custom Resource editor, can abuse this unsafe handling to inject shell commands or SQL statements. Successful exploitation can result in arbitrary code execution within the privileged postgres pod, creating a path to broader compromise of the affected environment.
