Vulnerability Data
A Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in SUSE Rancher causes permission changes in Azure AD not to be reflected to users while they are logged in the Rancher UI. This would cause the users to retain their previous permissions in Rancher,…
more
even if they change groups on Azure AD, for example, to a lower privileged group, or are removed from a group, thus retaining their access to Rancher instead of losing it. This issue affects Rancher: from >= 2.6.7 before < 2.6.13, from >= 2.7.0 before < 2.7.4.

Mitigating Controls
Likely Mitigating Controls AI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Mandates lowering or adjusting privileges to match new operational needs, reducing errors in privilege dropping during transfers.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Restricting use of privileged utility programs forces explicit privilege lowering before handing control to unprivileged actors.
Privileged access rights explicitly require least-privilege assignment and timely revocation, directly mitigating failure to drop privileges.
Secure development lifecycle includes privilege management reviews, providing indirect coverage of the weakness.
Secure coding standards can mandate privilege-dropping calls, yet the control is broader than this single weakness.
Hardening callouts derived
DISA STIG baselines are authored against specific weaknesses. Where this CVE cites a broad weakness class, the mapping is not asserted at that abstraction (owner ruling, 2026-09-25: grade only at Base and below), so no rule is shown here rather than a rule shown against the wrong grain.
- No fine-grained STIG row for CWE-271, a class-level weakness. Rules are authored against its narrower children: CWE-272.
