NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream harvester package and not the harvester package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

A vulnerability has been identified in Rancher's Extensions where malicious code can be injected in Rancher through a path traversal in the compressedEndpoint field inside a UIPlugin deployment. A malicious UI extension could abuse that to: * Overwrite Rancher binaries or configuration to inject code.

  • Write to /var/lib/rancher/ to tamper with cluster state.

  • If hostPath volumes are mounted, write to the host node filesystem.

  • Use this issue to chain with other attack vectors.
