Description
CVE-2026-41050 is a critical authorization vulnerability in SUSE Rancher's Fleet Helm deployer. The issue arises because ServiceAccount impersonation was not fully enforced in two code paths. This flaw allows a tenant with git push access to a Fleet-monitored repository to read secrets from any namespace on all downstream clusters targeted by their GitRepo. The vulnerability affects multiple Rancher versions from 0.11.0 through 0.15.0. It has a CVSS score of 9.9, indicating a critical severity level with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
