GHSA-HX8W-GHH8-R4XF

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-02 19:26 – Updated: 2023-01-19 00:58
VLAI
Summary
Write access to the catalog for any user when restricted-admin role is enabled in Rancher
Details

Impact

This vulnerability only affects customers using the restricted-admin role in Rancher. For this role to be active, Rancher must be bootstrapped with the environment variable CATTLE_RESTRICTED_DEFAULT_ADMIN=true or the configuration flag restrictedAdmin=true.

A flaw was discovered in Rancher versions from 2.5.0 up to and including 2.5.12 and from 2.6.0 up to and including 2.6.3 where the global-data role in cattle-global-data namespace grants write access to the Catalogs. Since each user with any level of catalog access was bound to the global-data role, this grants write access to templates (CatalogTemplates) and template versions (CatalogTemplateVersions) for any user with any level of catalog access. New users created in Rancher are by default assigned to the user role (standard user), which is not designed to grant write catalog access. This vulnerability effectively elevates the privilege of any user to write access for the catalog template and catalog template version resources.

A malicious user could abuse this vulnerability to:

  1. Make applications or individual versions of applications visible or hidden on the UI, by modifying version and rancherMaxVersion fields.
  2. Change the logo (field icon) of an application or template to an arbitrary image.
  3. Make a chart appear as a trusted or partner chart. This can be abused to make less trusted charts, such as customer defined charts, appear more legitimate than they are, by adding the label io.rancher.certified: partner.
  4. Swap template versions between templates of charts inside the same catalog. This can be exploited to swap the files from one chart or version to another, by changing versionDir field. When a user on the target cluster deploys their chart, it will deploy the modified version.

This vulnerability does not allow to modify the base64 encoded files fields of the templateVersions, so one cannot inject arbitrary data to charts that have already been pulled from their respective catalog.

Without access to the Catalog, malicious users are limited to injecting apps which already exist in a registered catalog. They would need write access to the catalog or external write access to a source repo to inject arbitrary code.

Patches

Patched versions include releases 2.5.13, 2.6.4 and later versions.

Workarounds

Limit access in Rancher to trusted users. There is not a direct mitigation besides upgrading to the patched Rancher versions.

Note: If you use the restricted-admin as the default admin role in your environment, it's highly advised to review CatalogTemplates and CatalogTemplateVersions for possible malicious modifications.

Mitigation MIT-1
Architecture and Design Operation

Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.

Mitigation MIT-48
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.

Mitigation MIT-49
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.

CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse

An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.

CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation

An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.

CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation

An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
