GHSA-8P83-CPFG-FJ3G
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-04-01 14:19 – Updated: 2025-04-11 23:13Impact
A vulnerability has been identified within Rancher where a Restricted Administrator can change the password of Administrators and take over their accounts.
A Restricted Administrator should be not allowed to change the password of more privileged users unless it contains the Manage Users permissions.
Rancher deployments where the Restricted Administrator role is not being used are not affected by this CVE. Please consult the associated MITRE ATT&CK - Technique - Abuse Elevation Control Mechanism for further information about this category of attack.
Patches
The fix introduces a few changes: 1. If the user has a manage-users verb, the user is allowed to edit/delete users. That way the Manage Users built in role will still be able to edit ALL users. 2. If the user doesn't have manage-users, just edit or delete, then there is a check to ensure that the User being edited only has rules equal to or less than the editor.
Patched versions include releases v2.8.14, v2.9.8, v2.10.4 and v2.11.0
Workarounds
Users are recommended to upgrade, as soon as possible, to a version of Rancher Manager that contains the fix. If users can't upgrade, the following are recommended: 1. Limit access to Rancher Restricted Admin only to trusted users. 2. Downgrade Restricted Administrators to custom roles with limited permissions.

This issue was identified and reported by Xavier Duthil from OVHcloud.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 19:16 – Updated: 2023-06-26 21:30A vulnerability in the REST API of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to perform a command injection attack and elevate privileges to root. This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation for specific API endpoints. An attacker in a man-in-the-middle position could exploit this vulnerability by intercepting and modifying specific internode communications from one ISE persona to another ISE persona. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to run arbitrary commands with root privileges on the underlying operating system. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker would need to decrypt HTTPS traffic between two ISE personas that are located on separate nodes.

Mitigation MIT-1
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Mitigation MIT-17
Strategy: Environment Hardening
Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks [REF-76]. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment. For example, database applications rarely need to run as the database administrator, especially in day-to-day operations.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
