Answer in brief
CVE-2026-115539 records a High severity (CVSS 7.7) vulnerability in Cluster-API proxy overwrites forwarded client identity with its own. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps Docker/Docker Engine (generic), moby/Moby (generic), moby/SwarmKit (generic), moby/SwarmKit (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.

HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 7.7. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

SwarmKit's Cluster-API proxy can overwrite a forwarded client's TLS identity with an intermediary manager's identity. WithMetadataForwardTLSInfo replaces outgoing metadata with a copy of the incoming metadata, discarding the redirect guard's changes when built with grpc-go 1.39 or later. During a short window after a leader change, two proxy hops through managers with inconsistent views of the leader can allow an attacker possessing a valid worker node TLS certificate and private key to obtain a manager node certificate for the attacker's own key, escalating privileges from worker to manager. Applications built with an affected SwarmKit version and grpc-go 1.39 or later are impacted.
