CVSS 3.1
7.2 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2026-88810
High (7.2). EPSS 0.5% estimated probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
A privilege escalation issue was discovered in Rancher Manager's role-based access control. The inheritedNamespacedRules field of a GlobalRole propagates permissions into named namespaces of every downstream cluster managed by the Rancher instance, but it was not subject to the privilege-escalation validation applied to the other permission-carrying fields of a GlobalRole. As a result, a non-administrative user could be granted, through a global role binding, permissions in downstream clusters that exceed the permissions that user already holds. This affected SUSE Rancher 2.15.2 only, and SUSE Rancher Webhook 0.11.0 up to 0.11.4, and 0.12.0 up to 0.12.1.
