How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/rancher/rancher/pkg/settings to version 2.7.16-alpha5, 2.8.9-alpha10, 2.9.3-alpha5 or higher.

Overview

github.com/rancher/rancher/pkg/settings is a complete container management platform

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Execution with Unnecessary Privileges due to not sufficiently isolating cluster and node drivers from the root-privileged containing service, in the NewPlugin() function for node drivers, and binaries being placed at an insecure location in the user's PATH. A privileged user can escape the chroot jail or gain privileges on the underlying system by registering a malicious driver. During registration, the binaries /usr/bin/rancher-machine, /usr/bin/helm_v3, and /usr/bin/kustomize are executed with the privileges of the parent process.
