CVE-2026-55997

Estado: Pendiente de análisisAlta (8.8)—

Rancher issues long-lived registration tokens to authenticate nodes and agents joining a downstream cluster. These tokens were stored and exposed in plaintext with no expiration, so a malicious user could obtain one either through the Rancher API, etcd, stored automation, or direct file access on a node, and could use it at any time to register a rogue node into the cluster.

CVSS

Versión: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Puntuación base: 8.8

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.11%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 1
Fecha de la puntuación: 4/10/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
