DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw was found in Rancher Manager. Project Secrets were propagated into a namespace based only on its field.cattle.io/projectId annotation, without verifying that the referenced project belonged to the same downstream cluster. A user able to create namespaces on one cluster could set the annotation to a project ID from another cluster and have that project's secrets copied into a namespace under their control.

This issue affects Rancher: before 2.15.1.

AnalysisAI

Cross-cluster secret exfiltration in Rancher Manager before 2.15.1 allows any authenticated user with namespace-creation rights on one downstream cluster to read Project Secrets belonging to a completely separate downstream cluster. The secretsController propagates secrets based solely on the user-writable field.cattle.io/projectId annotation, skipping validation that the referenced project belongs to the same cluster - a classic CWE-639 insecure direct object reference pattern. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated Rancher account (PR:L) with permission to create namespaces or set annotations on namespaces on at least one downstream cluster. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor-assigned CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N yielding 7.7 is well-calibrated. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade Rancher Manager to v2.15.1 or later; the release at https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.15.1 confirms the secretsController now validates that the project referenced by `field.cattle.io/projectId` belongs to the same downstream cluster before propagating secrets. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Rancher Manager instances in production and confirm version numbers to determine exposure (vulnerable if < 2.15.1). …
