4DescriptionCVE.org
The rancher-extension-stackstate extension in SUSE Observability exposes service tokens in plain configuration or insecure locations rather than managing them securely. An attacker with minimal access could obtain the token to gain unauthorized access or escalate privileges within the observability environment.
AnalysisAI
SUSE Observability deployments using the rancher-extension-stackstate extension are susceptible to credential exposure where service tokens are stored insecurely, enabling an attacker with local access and low privileges to obtain them and potentially escalate privileges. This moderate-severity issue (CWE-312) requires pre-existing minimal access to the affected system and has a confidentiality-only impact, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. …
