GHSA-mw39-9qc2-f7mg: Rancher exposes sensitive information through audit logs

### Impact **Note: The exploitation of this issue requires that the malicious user have access to Rancher’s audit log storage.** A vulnerability has been identified in Rancher Manager, where sensitive information, including secret data, cluster import URLs, and registration tokens, is exposed to any entity with access to Rancher audit logs. This happens in two different ways: 1. Secret Annotation Leakage: When creating Kubernetes Secrets using the `stringData` field, the cleartext value is embedded in the `kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration` annotation. This annotation is included in Rancher audit logs within both the request and response bodies, exposing secret material that should be redacted. 2. Cluster Registration Token Leakage: During the import or creation of downstream clusters (Custom, Imported, or Harvester), Rancher audit logs record full cluster registration manifests and tokens, including: a. Non-expiring import URLs such as `/v3/import/<token>_c-m-xxxx.yam...

GHSA-5qjg-9mjh-4r92: Karmada Dashboard API Unauthorized Access Vulnerability

### Impact This is an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Karmada Dashboard API. The backend API endpoints (e.g., /api/v1/secret, /api/v1/service) did not enforce authentication, allowing unauthenticated users to access sensitive cluster information such as Secrets and Services directly. Although the web UI required a valid JWT for access, the API itself remained exposed to direct requests without any authentication checks. Any user or entity with network access to the Karmada Dashboard service could exploit this vulnerability to retrieve sensitive data. ### Patches The issue has been fixed in Karmada Dashboard v0.2.0. This release enforces authentication for all API endpoints. Users are strongly advised to upgrade to version v0.2.0 or later as soon as possible. ### Workarounds If upgrading is not immediately feasible, users can mitigate the risk by: - Restricting network access to the Karmada Dashboard service using Kubernetes Network Policies, firewall rules, or ingress con...

GHSA-j4vr-pcmw-hx59: Rancher user retains access to clusters despite Global Role removal

### Impact A vulnerability has been identified within Rancher Manager, where after removing a custom GlobalRole that gives administrative access or the corresponding binding, the user still retains access to clusters. This only affects custom Global Roles that: - Have a `*` on `*` in `*` rule for resources - Have a `*` on `*` rule for non-resource URLs For example ```yaml apiVersion: management.cattle.io/v3 kind: GlobalRole metadata: name: custom-admin rules: - apiGroups: - '*' resources: - '*' verbs: - '*' - nonResourceURLs: - '*' verbs: - '*' ``` Specifically: - When a user is bound to a custom admin `GlobalRole`, a corresponding `ClusterRoleBinding` is created on all clusters that binds them to the cluster-admin `ClusterRole`. - When such a `GlobalRole` or the `GlobalRoleBinding` (e.g., when the user is unassigned from this role in UI) is deleted, the `ClusterRoleBinding` that binds them to the cluster-admin ClusterRole stays behind....

APT36 Targets Indian Government with Golang-Based DeskRAT Malware Campaign

A Pakistan-nexus threat actor has been observed targeting Indian government entities as part of spear-phishing attacks designed to deliver a Golang-based malware known as DeskRAT. The activity, observed in August and September 2025 by Sekoia, has been attributed to Transparent Tribe (aka APT36), a state-sponsored hacking group known to be active since at least 2013.

The Cybersecurity Perception Gap: Why Executives and Practitioners See Risk Differently

Does your organization suffer from a cybersecurity perception gap? Findings from the Bitdefender 2025 Cybersecurity Assessment suggest the answer is probably “yes” — and many leaders may not even realize it. This disconnect matters. Small differences in perception today can evolve into major blind spots tomorrow. After all, perception influences what organizations prioritize, where they
