The fix introduces a new field to the `RoleTemplate` CRD named `ExternalRules`. The new field will be used to resolve rules directly from the `RoleTemplate`. Additionally, rules from the backing `ClusterRole` will be used if `ExternalRules` is not provided. The new field will always take precedence when it is set, and serve as the source of truth for rules used when creating Rancher resources on the local cluster.\n\nPlease note that this is a breaking change for external `RoleTemplates`, when context is set to `project` or empty and the backing `ClusterRole` does not exist, as this was not previously required.\n\n**Important:** The fix is automatically applied when upgrading to the release lines `2.8`and above. For users still on the `2.7` release line, after the upgrade to a patched version, users are required to opt-in to the fix by enabling the `external-rules` [feature flag](https://ranchermanager.docs.rancher.com/getting-started/installation-and-upgrade/installation-references/feature-flags).\n\nPlease consult the associated [MITRE ATT\u0026CK - Technique - Exploitation for Privilege Escalation](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1068/) for further information about this category of attack.\n\n### Patches\nPatched versions include releases `2.7.14` and `2.8.5`.\n\n### Workarounds\nThe following script was developed for Rancher Manager administrators to identify `RoleTemplates` impacted by this vulnerability. The script requires `jq` installed and a `kubeconfig` with access to Rancher local cluster; it can also be executed in Rancher's kubectl shell.\n\n```bash\n#!/bin/bash\nset -euo pipefail\n\n# get all RoleTemplates with .context == \"project\" or .context == \"\" that don't have externalRules.\nrts=$(kubectl get roletemplates -o json | jq -r  '.items[] | select((.context == \"project\" or .context == \"\") and .external == true and .externalRules == null and .builtin == false) | .metadata.name')\nfound_invalid_rt=false\n\nfor rt in $rts; do\n  if ! kubectl get clusterrole \"$rt\" \u003e /dev/null 2\u003e\u00261; then\n     echo \"$rt\" # prints RoleTemplate names that don't have a backing ClusterRole\n     found_invalid_rt=true\n  fi\ndone\n\nif ! $found_invalid_rt ; then\n    echo 'This cluster is not affected by CVE-2023-32197: no RoleTemplate objects found'\nfi\n```\n\nIt will return all objects affected by this vulnerability. The administrator can fix those objects by creating the backing `ClusterRole` that they refer to.\n\n\n### References\n- [CVE-2023-32196](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-32196)\n\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n- Reach out to the [SUSE Rancher Security team](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/security/policy) for security-related inquiries.\n- Open an issue in the [Rancher](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/issues/new/choose) repository.\n- Verify with our [support matrix](https://www.suse.com/suse-rancher/support-matrix/all-supported-versions/) and [product support lifecycle](https://www.suse.com/lifecycle/).","status":"published","published":"2024-06-17T22:30:51Z","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:14.886835496Z","cvss":[{"version":"3.1","score":6.6,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","level":"medium"},{"version":"4.0","score":7.5,"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","level":"high"}],"cwes":["CWE-269"],"updated_at":"2026-11-02T15:46:39.266402Z"},{"id":"GHSA-7h8m-pvw3-5gh4","title":"Rancher allows privilege escalation in Windows nodes due to Insecure Access Control Lists","description":"### Impact\n\nA vulnerability has been identified whereby Rancher Manager deployments containing Windows nodes have weak Access Control Lists (ACL), allowing `BUILTIN\\Users` or `NT AUTHORITY\\Authenticated Users` to view or edit sensitive files which could lead to privilege escalation.\n\nThe affected files include binaries, scripts, configuration and log files:\n\n```\nC:\\etc\\rancher\\wins\\config\nC:\\var\\lib\\rancher\\agent\\rancher2_connection_info.json\nC:\\etc\\rancher\\rke2\\config.yaml.d\\50-rancher.yaml\nC:\\var\\lib\\rancher\\agent\\applied\\*-*-applied.plan\nC:\\usr\\local\\bin\\rke2\nC:\\var\\lib\\rancher\\capr\\idempotence\\idempotent.sh\n```\n\nRKE2 nodes expand the list to include the files below:\n\n```\nC:\\etc\\rancher\\node\\password\nC:\\var\\lib\\rancher\\rke2\\agent\\logs\\kubelet.log\nC:\\var\\lib\\rancher\\rke2\\data\\v1.**.**-rke2r*-windows-amd64-*\\bin\\*\nC:\\var\\lib\\rancher\\rke2\\bin\\*\n```\n\n**This vulnerability is exclusive to deployments that contain Windows nodes.

For RKE2 Windows nodes, please refer to its [specific advisory](https://github.com/rancher/rke2/security/advisories/GHSA-x7xj-jvwp-97rv). No patches are available for 2.7, therefore users are urged to upgrade to newer minor versions or to apply the manual workaround below.\n\n\n### Workarounds\n\nUsers are advised to upgrade to a patched version of Rancher Manager. When that is not possible, users can enforce stricter ACLs for all sensitive files affected by this Security Advisory running [this](https://github.com/rancherlabs/support-tools/blob/master/windows-access-control-lists/README.md) PowerShell script as an Administrator on each node.\n\n\n### References\n\n-
