Description

A security vulnerability was discovered in Fleet's Helm template preprocessing where templates evaluated by the Fleet controller could reach network resources outside the management cluster. A user who can supply bundle content to a repository referenced by a `GitRepo` resource can cause the Fleet controller to: - Disclose cluster metadata available to the templating context. - Reveal information about hosts reachable from the controller's network position. Because the disclosure channel is name resolution, it may remain effective in environments where outbound traffic is otherwise restricted. The disclosed information is limited to values exposed to the Fleet templating context and to name resolution results. Integrity and availability of managed clusters are not affected. This issue affects Fleet: from 0.12.0 before 0.12.19, from 0.13.0 before 0.13.15, from 0.14.0 before 0.14.10, from 0.15.0 before 0.15.6, and from 0.16.0 before 0.16.1.

CWE ID Description
CWE-918 The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination.
CWE-1336 The product uses a template engine to insert or process externally-influenced input, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements or syntax that can be interpreted as template expressions or other code directives when processed by the engine.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in Fleet's Helm template preprocessing allows DNS-based information disclosure. An attacker with write access to a GitRepo resource's repository can cause the Fleet controller to reveal cluster metadata and information about reachable hosts via name resolution, even in restricted networks. The integrity and availability of managed clusters are not affected.

Detection Guidance

Detecting this vulnerability requires checking if your Fleet controller is running a vulnerable version and monitoring for unusual DNS queries from the controller. Check Fleet version with: kubectl get deployments -n cattle-fleet-system fleet -o jsonpath='{.spec.template.spec.containers[0].image}'. Inspect controller logs for Helm template preprocessing errors or unexpected network activity.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could learn sensitive details about your cluster's configuration and network environment. This includes metadata exposed to the templating context and hosts reachable from the controller's network. The impact is limited to information disclosure and does not affect cluster operations.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with GDPR or HIPAA due to unauthorized information disclosure. GDPR requires protecting personal data, while HIPAA mandates safeguarding protected health information. The exposure of cluster metadata or network host details may violate these regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Fleet to a patched version (0.12.19, 0.13.15, 0.14.10, 0.15.6, or 0.16.1) or Rancher to a patched version (2.11.17, 2.12.13, 2.13.9, 2.14.5, 2.15.1). Restrict write access to repositories referenced by GitRepo resources and limit GitRepo modifications to trusted users. Restrict outbound name resolution from the Fleet controller.
