If you cannot patch yet, restrict deployment of untrusted UI extensions and avoid mounting hostPath volumes in UIPlugin deployments to reduce risk.
Description
CVE-2026-25705 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in SUSE Rancher's Extensions component. It allows a malicious UI extension to inject code by exploiting the compressedEndpoint field in a UIPlugin deployment. Successful exploitation can lead to overwriting Rancher binaries or configurations, tampering with cluster state, writing to the host filesystem if hostPath volumes are mounted, and chaining with other attack vectors. The vulnerability affects Rancher versions 2.10.11, 2.12.0, 2.13.0, and 2.
