description

Affected Rancher releases allow an unauthenticated network client to change public UI settings through API endpoints intended to be read-only. Modified content can execute in the browser of a user who later opens the Rancher login page, potentially exposing administrator credentials or sessions. The attacker needs network access to the Rancher server; no Rancher account is required.

mitigation

Upgrade Rancher to v2.15.2, v2.14.6, v2.13.10, v2.12.14, or v2.11.18, as appropriate for your release line. Until upgraded, restrict access to the Rancher endpoint and block non-read requests or method-override parameters to unauthenticated settings endpoints; review public UI settings and rotate administrator credentials and sessions if compromise is suspected.

fixed in v2.15.2, v2.14.6, v2.13.10, v2.12.14, v2.11.18
