CVE-2026-44940
5.7
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Summary
The rancher-extension-stackstate extension in SUSE Observability exposes service tokens in plain configuration or insecure locations rather than managing them securely. An attacker with minimal access could obtain the token to gain unauthorized access or escalate privileges within the observability environment.
Affected Software
| Vendor | Product | Version Range | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| SUSE | SUSE Observability | 0 < 2.13.6 | affected |
| SUSE | SUSE Observability | 2.14.0 < 2.14.2 | affected |
Weaknesses
- CWE-312: CWE-312: Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information
- CWE-200: CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Workarounds
Revoke the existing service token inside SUSE Observability. Generate a new service token assigned to the stackstate-guest role (which enforces read-only access) rather than the default stackstate-k8s-troubleshooter role.
