CVE-2026-25705
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
A vulnerability has been identified in [Rancher's Extensions](https://ranchermanager.docs.rancher.com/integrations-in-rancher/rancher-extensions) where malicious code can be injected in Rancher through a path traversal in the `compressedEndpoint` field inside a `UIPlugin` deployment. A malicious UI extension could abuse that to: * Overwrite Rancher binaries or configuration to inject code. * Write to /var/lib/rancher/ to tamper with cluster state. * If hostPath volumes are mounted, write to the host node filesystem. * Use this issue to chain with other attack vectors.

Una extensión de UI maliciosa podría abusar de ello para:\n * Sobrescribir binarios o la configuración de Rancher para inyectar código.\n * Escribir en /var/lib/rancher/ para manipular el estado del clúster.\n * Si los volúmenes hostPath están montados, escribir en el sistema de archivos del nodo host.\n * Usar este problema para encadenar con otros vectores de ataque."
