Delta-sync write paths in search-indexer do not constrain UPDATE/DELETE mutations to rows owned by the authenticated cluster. UIDs are conventionally <clusterName>/<k8s-uid> by collector convention, but the indexer never enforces this prefix. A registered managed cluster can submit a payload with a victim cluster's UID in updateResources or deleteResources and mutate/delete that cluster's indexed data, even when posting to its own /clusters/<self>/sync path. The INSERT path's ON CONFLICT (uid) DO UPDATE also overwrites an existing row's data regardless of which cluster owns it, since the cluster column is not part of the conflict target or re-checked. This is a defense-in-depth failure independent of authentication/identity-binding gaps tracked separately -- exploiting it requires already being a legitimately registered, authenticated managed spoke cluster with valid addon-framework credentials, not an anonymous or low-privilege caller.
