[Click here to download a PDF version of this document](https://releases.rancher.com/documents/security/2.3.5/Rancher_Hardening_Guide.pdf)
### Overview
This document provides prescriptive guidance for hardening a production installation of Rancher v2.3.5 with Kubernetes v1.15. It outlines the configurations required to address Kubernetes benchmark controls from the Center for Information Security (CIS).
For more detail about evaluating a hardened cluster against the official CIS benchmark, refer to the [CIS Benchmark Rancher Self-Assessment Guide - Rancher v2.3.5](security/benchmark-2.3.5/).
#### Known Issues
- Rancher **exec shell** and **view logs** for pods are **not** functional in a CIS 1.5 hardened setup when only public IP is provided when registering custom nodes. This functionality requires a private IP to be provided when registering the custom nodes.
- When setting the `default_pod_security_policy_template_id:` to `restricted` Rancher creates **RoleBindings** and **ClusterRoleBindings** on the default service accounts. The CIS 1.5 5.1.5 check requires the default service accounts have no roles or cluster roles bound to it apart from the defaults. In addition the default service accounts should be configured such that it does not provide a service account token and does not have any explicit rights assignments.
### Configure Kernel Runtime Parameters
The following `sysctl` configuration is recommended for all nodes type in the cluster. Set the following parameters in `/etc/sysctl.d/90-kubelet.conf`:
```
vm.overcommit_memory=1
vm.panic_on_oom=0
kernel.panic=10
kernel.panic_on_oops=1
kernel.keys.root_maxbytes=25000000
```
Run `sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/90-kubelet.conf` to enable the settings.
### Configure `etcd` user and group
A user account and group for the **etcd** service is required to be setup before installing RKE. The **uid** and **gid** for the **etcd** user will be used in the RKE **config.yml** to set the proper permissions for files and directories during installation time.
#### create `etcd` user and group
To create the **etcd** group run the following console commands.
```
groupadd --gid 52034 etcd
useradd --comment "etcd service account" --uid 52034 --gid 52034 etcd
```
Update the RKE **config.yml** with the **uid** and **gid** of the **etcd** user:
``` yaml
services:
etcd:
gid: 52034
uid: 52034
```
#### Set `automountServiceAccountToken` to `false` for `default` service accounts
Kubernetes provides a default service account which is used by cluster workloads where no specific service account is assigned to the pod. Where access to the Kubernetes API from a pod is required, a specific service account should be created for that pod, and rights granted to that service account. The default service account should be configured such that it does not provide a service account token and does not have any explicit rights assignments.
For each namespace the **default** service account must include this value:
```
automountServiceAccountToken: false
```
Save the following yaml to a file called `account_update.yaml`
``` yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: default
automountServiceAccountToken: false
```
Create a bash script file called `account_update.sh`. Be sure to `chmod +x account_update.sh` so the script has execute permissions.
```
#!/bin/bash -e
for namespace in $(kubectl get namespaces -A -o json | jq -r '.items[].metadata.name'); do
kubectl patch serviceaccount default -n ${namespace} -p "$(cat account_update.yaml)"
done
```
### Ensure that all Namespaces have Network Policies defined
Running different applications on the same Kubernetes cluster creates a risk of one
compromised application attacking a neighboring application. Network segmentation is
important to ensure that containers can communicate only with those they are supposed
to. A network policy is a specification of how selections of pods are allowed to
communicate with each other and other network endpoints.
Network Policies are namespace scoped. When a network policy is introduced to a given
namespace, all traffic not allowed by the policy is denied. However, if there are no network
policies in a namespace all traffic will be allowed into and out of the pods in that
namespace. To enforce network policies, a CNI (container network interface) plugin must be enabled.
This guide uses [canal](https://github.com/projectcalico/canal) to provide the policy enforcement.
Additional information about CNI providers can be found
[here](https://rancher.com/blog/2019/2019-03-21-comparing-kubernetes-cni-providers-flannel-calico-canal-and-weave/)
Once a CNI provider is enabled on a cluster a default network policy can be applied. For reference purposes a
**permissive** example is provide below. If you want to allow all traffic to all pods in a namespace
(even if policies are added that cause some pods to be treated as “isolated”),
you can create a policy that explicitly allows all traffic in that namespace. Save the following `yaml` as
`default-allow-all.yaml`. Additional [documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/network-policies/)
about network policies can be found on the Kubernetes site.
> This `NetworkPolicy` is not recommended for production use
``` yaml
---
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
name: default-allow-all
spec:
podSelector: {}
ingress:
- {}
egress:
- {}
policyTypes:
- Ingress
- Egress
```
Create a bash script file called `apply_networkPolicy_to_all_ns.sh`. Be sure to
`chmod +x apply_networkPolicy_to_all_ns.sh` so the script has execute permissions.
```
#!/bin/bash -e
for namespace in $(kubectl get namespaces -A -o json | jq -r '.items[].metadata.name'); do
kubectl apply -f default-allow-all.yaml -n ${namespace}
done
```
Execute this script to apply the `default-allow-all.yaml` the **permissive** `NetworkPolicy` to all namespaces.
### Reference Hardened RKE `cluster.yml` configuration
The reference `cluster.yml` is used by the RKE CLI that provides the configuration needed to achieve a hardened install
of Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE). Install [documentation](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/installation/) is
provided with additional details about the configuration items.

[Click here to download a PDF version of this document](https://releases.rancher.com/documents/security/2.4/Rancher_Hardening_Guide.pdf)
### Overview
This document provides prescriptive guidance for hardening a production installation of Rancher v2.4 with Kubernetes v1.15. It outlines the configurations required to address Kubernetes benchmark controls from the Center for Information Security (CIS).
For more detail about evaluating a hardened cluster against the official CIS benchmark, refer to the [CIS Benchmark Rancher Self-Assessment Guide - Rancher v2.4](security/benchmark-2.4/).
#### Known Issues
- Rancher **exec shell** and **view logs** for pods are **not** functional in a CIS 1.5 hardened setup when only public IP is provided when registering custom nodes. This functionality requires a private IP to be provided when registering the custom nodes.
- When setting the `default_pod_security_policy_template_id:` to `restricted` Rancher creates **RoleBindings** and **ClusterRoleBindings** on the default service accounts. The CIS 1.5 5.1.5 check requires the default service accounts have no roles or cluster roles bound to it apart from the defaults. In addition the default service accounts should be configured such that it does not provide a service account token and does not have any explicit rights assignments.
### Configure Kernel Runtime Parameters
The following `sysctl` configuration is recommended for all nodes type in the cluster. Set the following parameters in `/etc/sysctl.d/90-kubelet.conf`:
```
vm.overcommit_memory=1
vm.panic_on_oom=0
kernel.panic=10
kernel.panic_on_oops=1
kernel.keys.root_maxbytes=25000000
```
Run `sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/90-kubelet.conf` to enable the settings.
### Configure `etcd` user and group
A user account and group for the **etcd** service is required to be setup before installing RKE. The **uid** and **gid** for the **etcd** user will be used in the RKE **config.yml** to set the proper permissions for files and directories during installation time.
#### create `etcd` user and group
To create the **etcd** group run the following console commands.
The commands below use `52034` for **uid** and **gid** are for example purposes. Any valid unused **uid** or **gid** could also be used in lieu of `52034`.
```
groupadd --gid 52034 etcd
useradd --comment "etcd service account" --uid 52034 --gid 52034 etcd
```
Update the RKE **config.yml** with the **uid** and **gid** of the **etcd** user:
``` yaml
services:
etcd:
gid: 52034
uid: 52034
```
#### Set `automountServiceAccountToken` to `false` for `default` service accounts
Kubernetes provides a default service account which is used by cluster workloads where no specific service account is assigned to the pod. Where access to the Kubernetes API from a pod is required, a specific service account should be created for that pod, and rights granted to that service account. The default service account should be configured such that it does not provide a service account token and does not have any explicit rights assignments.
For each namespace including **default** and **kube-system** on a standard RKE install the **default** service account must include this value:
```
automountServiceAccountToken: false
```
Save the following yaml to a file called `account_update.yaml`
``` yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: default
automountServiceAccountToken: false
```
Create a bash script file called `account_update.sh`. Be sure to `chmod +x account_update.sh` so the script has execute permissions.
```
#!/bin/bash -e
for namespace in $(kubectl get namespaces -A -o json | jq -r '.items[].metadata.name'); do
kubectl patch serviceaccount default -n ${namespace} -p "$(cat account_update.yaml)"
done
```
### Ensure that all Namespaces have Network Policies defined
Running different applications on the same Kubernetes cluster creates a risk of one
compromised application attacking a neighboring application. Network segmentation is
important to ensure that containers can communicate only with those they are supposed
to. A network policy is a specification of how selections of pods are allowed to
communicate with each other and other network endpoints.
Network Policies are namespace scoped. When a network policy is introduced to a given
namespace, all traffic not allowed by the policy is denied. However, if there are no network

(even if policies are added that cause some pods to be treated as “isolated”),
you can create a policy that explicitly allows all traffic in that namespace. Save the following `yaml` as
`default-allow-all.yaml`. Additional [documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/network-policies/)
about network policies can be found on the Kubernetes site.
> This `NetworkPolicy` is not recommended for production use
``` yaml
---
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
name: default-allow-all
spec:
podSelector: {}
ingress:
- {}
egress:
- {}
policyTypes:
- Ingress
- Egress
```
Create a bash script file called `apply_networkPolicy_to_all_ns.sh`. Be sure to
`chmod +x apply_networkPolicy_to_all_ns.sh` so the script has execute permissions.
```
#!/bin/bash -e
for namespace in $(kubectl get namespaces -A -o json | jq -r '.items[].metadata.name'); do
kubectl apply -f default-allow-all.yaml -n ${namespace}
done
```
Execute this script to apply the `default-allow-all.yaml` the **permissive** `NetworkPolicy` to all namespaces.
### Reference Hardened RKE `cluster.yml` configuration
The reference `cluster.yml` is used by the RKE CLI that provides the configuration needed to achieve a hardened install
of Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE). Install [documentation](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/installation/) is
provided with additional details about the configuration items. This reference `cluster.yml` does not include the required **nodes** directive which will vary depending on your environment. Documentation for node configuration can be found here: https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/nodes

title: Rancher CVEs and Resolutions
weight: 300
---
Rancher is committed to informing the community of security issues in our products. Rancher will publish CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) for issues we have resolved.
| ID | Description | Date | Resolution |
|----|-------------|------|------------|
| [CVE-2021-31999](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-31999) | A vulnerability was discovered where a malicious Rancher user could craft an API request directed at the proxy for the Kubernetes API of a managed cluster to gain access to information they do not have access to. This is done by passing the "Impersonate-User" or "Impersonate-Group" header in the Connection header, which is then removed by the proxy. At this point, instead of impersonating the user and their permissions, the request will act as if it was from the Rancher management server, i.e. local server, and return the requested information. You are vulnerable if you are running any Rancher 2.x version. Only valid Rancher users who have some level of permission on the cluster can perform the request. There is no direct mitigation besides upgrading to the patched versions. You can limit wider exposure by ensuring all Rancher users are trusted. | 14 Jul 2021 | [Rancher v2.5.9](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.5.9), [Rancher v2.4.16](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.4.16) |
| [CVE-2021-25318](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-25318) | A vulnerability was discovered in Rancher where users were granted access to resources regardless of the resource's API group. For example Rancher should have allowed users access to `apps.catalog.cattle.io`, but instead incorrectly gave access to `apps.*`. You are vulnerable if you are running any Rancher 2.x version. The extent of the exploit increases if there are other matching CRD resources installed in the cluster. There is no direct mitigation besides upgrading to the patched versions. | 14 Jul 2021 | [Rancher v2.5.9](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.5.9), [Rancher v2.4.16](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.4.16) |
| [CVE-2021-25320](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-25320) | A vulnerability was discovered in Rancher where cloud credentials weren't being properly validated through the Rancher API. Specifically through a proxy designed to communicate with cloud providers. Any Rancher user that was logged-in and aware of a cloud credential ID that was valid for a given cloud provider could make requests against that cloud provider's API through the proxy API, and the cloud credential would be attached. You are vulnerable if you are running any Rancher 2.2.0 or above and use cloud credentials. The exploit is limited to valid Rancher users. There is no direct mitigation besides upgrading to the patched versions. You can limit wider exposure by ensuring all Rancher users are trusted. | 14 Jul 2021 | [Rancher v2.5.9](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.5.9), [Rancher v2.4.16](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.4.16) |
| [CVE-2018-20321](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-20321) | Any project member with access to the `default` namespace can mount the `netes-default` service account in a pod and then use that pod to execute administrative privileged commands against the Kubernetes cluster. | 29 Jan 2019 | [Rancher v2.1.6](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.1.6) and [Rancher v2.0.11](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.0.11) - Rolling back from these versions or greater have specific [instructions](upgrades/rollbacks/). |
| [CVE-2019-6287](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-6287) | Project members continue to get access to namespaces from projects that they were removed from if they were added to more than one project. | 29 Jan 2019 | [Rancher v2.1.6](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.1.6) and [Rancher v2.0.11](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.0.11) |
| [CVE-2019-11202](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-11202) | The default admin, that is shipped with Rancher, will be re-created upon restart of Rancher despite being explicitly deleted. | 16 Apr 2019 | [Rancher v2.2.2](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.2.2), [Rancher v2.1.9](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.1.9) and [Rancher v2.0.14](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.0.14) |
| [CVE-2019-12274](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-12274) | Nodes using the built-in node drivers using a file path option allows the machine to read arbitrary files including sensitive ones from inside the Rancher server container. | 5 Jun 2019 | [Rancher v2.2.4](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.2.4), [Rancher v2.1.10](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.1.10) and [Rancher v2.0.15](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.0.15) |
| [CVE-2019-12303](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-12303) | Project owners can inject extra fluentd logging configurations that makes it possible to read files or execute arbitrary commands inside the fluentd container. Reported by Tyler Welton from Untamed Theory. | 5 Jun 2019 | [Rancher v2.2.4](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.2.4), [Rancher v2.1.10](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.1.10) and [Rancher v2.0.15](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.0.15) |
| [CVE-2019-13209](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-13209) | The vulnerability is known as a [Cross-Site Websocket Hijacking attack](https://www.christian-schneider.net/CrossSiteWebSocketHijacking.html). This attack allows an exploiter to gain access to clusters managed by Rancher with the roles/permissions of a victim. It requires that a victim to be logged into a Rancher server and then access a third-party site hosted by the exploiter. Once that is accomplished, the exploiter is able to execute commands against the Kubernetes API with the permissions and identity of the victim. Reported by Matt Belisle and Alex Stevenson from Workiva. | 15 Jul 2019 | [Rancher v2.2.5](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.2.5), [Rancher v2.1.11](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.1.11) and [Rancher v2.0.16](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.0.16) |
| [CVE-2019-14436](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-14436) | The vulnerability allows a member of a project that has access to edit role bindings to be able to assign themselves or others a cluster level role granting them administrator access to that cluster. The issue was found and reported by Michal Lipinski at Nokia. | 5 Aug 2019 | [Rancher v2.2.7](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.2.7) and [Rancher v2.1.12](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.1.12) |
| [CVE-2019-14435](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-14435) | This vulnerability allows authenticated users to potentially extract otherwise private data out of IPs reachable from system service containers used by Rancher. This can include but not only limited to services such as cloud provider metadata services. Although Rancher allow users to configure whitelisted domains for system service access, this flaw can still be exploited by a carefully crafted HTTP request. The issue was found and reported by Matt Belisle and Alex Stevenson at Workiva. | 5 Aug 2019 | [Rancher v2.2.7](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.2.7) and [Rancher v2.1.12](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/releases/tag/v2.1.12) |
