A vulnerability has been identified which may lead to sensitive data being leaked into Rancher's audit logs. [Rancher Audit Logging](https://ranchermanager.docs.rancher.com/how-to-guides/advanced-user-guides/enable-api-audit-log) is an opt-in feature, only deployments that have it enabled and have [AUDIT_LEVEL](https://ranchermanager.docs.rancher.com/how-to-guides/advanced-user-guides/enable-api-audit-log#audit-log-levels) set to `1 or above` are impacted by this issue.

Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • Target Rancher deployments with audit logging enabled (AUDIT_LEVEL set to 1 or above) — these are the only instances impacted by CVE-2023-22649
  • A Metasploit post-exploitation module exists for this CVE targeting Linux hosts; presence of this module in use indicates active exploitation attempts against Rancher audit log data
  • The Metasploit module is classified as a post/linux/gather module — exploitation requires prior foothold on the Linux system running Rancher; monitor for post-exploitation activity reading Rancher audit log files
  • ·Only Rancher deployments with audit logging explicitly enabled AND AUDIT_LEVEL >= 1 are vulnerable; default deployments without audit logging are not impacted
  • ·Affected Rancher versions are 2.6.0–2.6.13, 2.7.0–2.7.9, and 2.8.0–2.8.1; detections and mitigations should be scoped to these version ranges
