A Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in SUSE Rancher allows administrators of third-party repositories to gather credentials that are sent to their servers. This issue affects: SUSE Rancher Rancher versions prior to 2.5.12; Rancher versions prior to 2.6.3.

Affected: Go: github.com/rancher/rancher

### Impact This issue only happens when the user configures access credentials to a private repository in Rancher inside `Apps & Marketplace > Repositories`. It affects Rancher versions 2.5.0 up to and including 2.5.11 and from 2.6.0 up to and including 2.6.2.

An insufficient check of the same-origin policy when downloading Helm charts from a configured private repository can lead to exposure of the repository credentials to a third-party provider. This exposure happens when the private repository:

1. Does an HTTP redirect to a third-party repository or external storage provider. 2. Downloads an icon resource for the chart hosted on a third-party provider.

The address of the private repository is not leaked, only the credentials are leaked in the HTTP `Authorization` header in base64 format.

With the patched versions, the default behavior now is to only send the private repository credentials when subdomain or domain hostname match when following the redirect or downloading external resources.

### Patches Patched versions include releases 2.5.12, 2.6.3 and later versions.

### Workarounds 1. Update Rancher to a patched version. 2. Check the Helm charts in your configured private repository for possible redirects to third-party storage, and for Helm chart icons from third-party sources. 3. Evaluate any Helm chart that might lead to the mentioned scenario and change affected credentials if deemed necessary.
