Improper Privilege Management

CVE-2024-22036

High
9.1/10

Summary

A vulnerability has been identified within Rancher where a cluster or node driver can be used to escape the chroot jail and gain root access to the Rancher container itself. In production environments, further privilege escalation is possible based on living off the land within the Rancher container itself. For the test and development environments, based on a -privileged Docker container, it is possible to escape the Docker container and gain execution access on the host system. This issue affects github.com/rancher/rancher versions v2.7.0-rc1 through v2.7.16, v2.8.0-alpha1 through v2.8.8, and v2.9.0-alpha1 through v2.9.2.

CWE-269 - Improper Privilege Management

An effective privilege management infrastructure provides valid users with required access and privileges across heterogeneous technology environments. An application with a faulty privilege management infrastructure allows higher than authorized privileges or enables privilege escalation. This can lead to security incidents such as system infiltration, data breach, and complete system takeover.
