High CVSS 7
CVE-2026-44949
NVD analysis in progress
A Rancher FleetWorkspace admission path allowed side effects to occur in the Rancher webhook handler for versions 0.7.0 up to 0.7.10, 0.8.0 up to 0.8.7, 0.9.0 up to 0.9.6 and 0.10.0 up to 0.10.7. An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the in-cluster rancher-webhook service could submit a crafted admission payload and cause workspace-related Kubernetes objects to be created with attacker-chosen identity data.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim. It also depends on circumstances the attacker does not control.
- Impact
- An attacker can modify or destroy data. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
- Weakness
- A sensitive function is reachable with no authentication at all.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
