{"cve":"CVE-2019-11202","nvd":{"published":"2019-07-30T17:15:12.607","modified":"2026-06-17T02:12:31.463","status":"Modified","description":"An issue was discovered that affects the following versions of Rancher: v2.0.0 through v2.0.13, v2.1.0 through v2.1.8, and v2.2.0 through 2.2.1. When Rancher starts for the first time, it creates a default admin user with a well-known password. After initial setup, the Rancher administrator may choose to delete this default admin user. If Rancher is restarted, the default admin user will be recreated with the well-known default password. An attacker could exploit this by logging in with the default admin credentials. This can be mitigated by deactivating the default admin user rather than completing deleting them.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.0","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-287"],"references":["https://forums.rancher.com/c/announcements","https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.x/en/security/","https://forums.rancher.com/c/announcements","https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.x/en/security/"],"products":["suse:rancher"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:58:11.797917892+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2019-11202","score":0.01604,"percentile":0.75848,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-xh8x-j8h3-m5ph","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-xh8x-j8h3-m5ph","summary":"Rancher Recreates Default User With Known Password Despite Deletion","modified":"2024-06-10T19:29:16Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/rancher/rancher","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/rancher/rancher","ranges":[">=2.0.0 <=2.0.13"],"fixed":[]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/rancher/rancher","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/rancher/rancher","ranges":[">=2.1.0 <=2.1.8"],"fixed":[]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/rancher/rancher","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/rancher/rancher","ranges":[">=2.2.0 <2.2.2"],"fixed":["2.2.2"]}]},{"id":"GO-2024-2784","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2024-2784","summary":"Rancher Recreates Default User With Known Password Despite Deletion in github.com/rancher/rancher","modified":"2026-03-03T04:55:05.510174Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/rancher/rancher","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/rancher/rancher","ranges":[">=2.0.0+incompatible <2.2.2+incompatible"],"fixed":["2.2.2+incompatible"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
