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.
