Withdrawn 2026-07-01 VLAI
Summary
Duplicate Advisory: Keycloak has privilege escalation via improper scope mapping enforcement
Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-32h4-44jj-c5vx. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

A flaw was found in Keycloak's Fine-Grained Admin Permissions (FGAPv2) feature. An administrator with limited client management permissions can exploit this vulnerability to assign any realm role, including highly privileged roles, to a client's scope mapping. This bypasses intended security controls, allowing the injected role to be projected into a user's authentication token when they access the modified client. This could lead to unauthorized privilege escalation within the Keycloak realm.

GHSA-8P83-CPFG-FJ3G

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-04-01 14:19 – Updated: 2025-04-11 23:13
VLAI
Summary
Rancher: Restricted Administrator can change Administrator's passwords
Details

Impact

A vulnerability has been identified within Rancher where a Restricted Administrator can change the password of Administrators and take over their accounts.

A Restricted Administrator should be not allowed to change the password of more privileged users unless it contains the Manage Users permissions.

Rancher deployments where the Restricted Administrator role is not being used are not affected by this CVE. Please consult the associated MITRE ATT&CK - Technique - Abuse Elevation Control Mechanism for further information about this category of attack.

Patches

The fix introduces a few changes: 1. If the user has a manage-users verb, the user is allowed to edit/delete users. That way the Manage Users built in role will still be able to edit ALL users. 2. If the user doesn't have manage-users, just edit or delete, then there is a check to ensure that the User being edited only has rules equal to or less than the editor.

Patched versions include releases v2.8.14, v2.9.8, v2.10.4 and v2.11.0

Workarounds

Users are recommended to upgrade, as soon as possible, to a version of Rancher Manager that contains the fix. If users can't upgrade, the following are recommended: 1. Limit access to Rancher Restricted Admin only to trusted users. 2. Downgrade Restricted Administrators to custom roles with limited permissions.

Credits

This issue was identified and reported by Xavier Duthil from OVHcloud.

Mitigation MIT-1
Architecture and Design Operation

Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.

Mitigation MIT-17
Architecture and Design Operation

Strategy: Environment Hardening

Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks [REF-76]. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment. For example, database applications rarely need to run as the database administrator, especially in day-to-day operations.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
