Rancher Helm Applications may have sensitive values leaked
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 24/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.45% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: SUSE rancher 2.8.10, 2.9.4.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to SUSE rancher 2.8.10, 2.9.4 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in SUSE rancher allowing any users with GET access to the Rancher Manager Apps Catalog to read any sensitive information that are contained within the Apps’ values. Additionally, the same information leaks into auditing logs when the audit level is set to equal or above 2. This issue affects rancher: from 2.8.0 before 2.8.10, from 2.9.0 before 2.9.4.
