  "details": "### Impact\nA vulnerability has been identified when using Fleet to manage Helm charts where sensitive information is passed through `BundleDeployment.Spec.Options.Helm.Values` may be stored in plain text. This can result in: \n1. Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data: Any user with `GET` or `LIST` permissions on `BundleDeployment` resources could retrieve Helm values containing credentials or other secrets.\n2. Lack of encryption at rest: `BundleDeployment` is not configured for Kubernetes encryption at rest by default, causing sensitive values to remain unencrypted within the cluster datastore.\n\nThis behavior differs from Helm v3\u2019s default approach, where chart state \u2014 including values \u2014 is stored in Kubernetes secrets, benefiting from built-in protection mechanisms. In affected scenarios, credentials and other sensitive information are exposed both at rest and in responses to API calls.\n\nPlease consult the associated  [MITRE ATT\u0026CK - Technique - Credentials from Password Stores](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1555/) for further information about this category of attack.\n\nFor the exposure of credentials not related to Rancher, the final impact severity for confidentiality, integrity, and availability is dependent on the permissions that the leaked credentials have on their own services.\nIt is recommended to review the potentially exposed sensitive data in this scenario and change secrets, tokens, and passwords as necessary.\n\n### Patches\nThis vulnerability is addressed by adding the capability for each `Bundle` and `BundleDeployment` to have a secret to store options in.\n1. The git job that runs `fleet apply` will now create secrets for Helm values.\n2. Fleet controller generates `bundledeployments` and now creates a Helm values secret per bundle deployment in the cluster namespace.\n3. Fleet agent uses the `bundledeployment` for options, the content resource and the secret to deploy the bundle.\n\n\nPatched versions of Fleet include releases `v0.14.0`, `v0.13.1`, `v0.12.6` and `v0.11.10`.\n\n### Workarounds\nIf you can\u0027t upgrade to a fixed version, please make sure to specify paths to valuesFiles as simple file names, e.g.:\n\nInstead of:\n```fleet.yaml\nhelm:\n  valuesFiles:\n    - config-chart/values.yaml # will not be excluded \u2192 risky\n```\nUse:\n```fleet.yaml\nhelm:\n  valuesFiles:\n    - values.yaml # will be excluded\n```\n\n### References\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/).",
