CVE-2026-44949

HIGHPre-NVD 7.07.0
EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This high-severity CVE scores 7.0 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.2%, top 86% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

A Rancher FleetWorkspace admission path allowed side effects to occur in the Rancher webhook handler for versions 0.7.0 up to 0.7.10, 0.8.0 up to 0.8.7, 0.9.0 up to 0.9.6 and 0.10.0 up to 0.10.7. An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the in-cluster rancher-webhook service could submit a crafted admission payload and cause workspace-related Kubernetes objects to be created with attacker-chosen identity data.
