Summary

The rancher-extension-stackstate extension in SUSE Observability exposes service tokens in plain configuration or insecure locations rather than managing them securely. An attacker with minimal access could obtain the token to gain unauthorized access or escalate privileges within the observability environment.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with minimal access can obtain service tokens and gain unauthorized access or escalate privileges within the SUSE Observability environment. This can lead to compromise of confidentiality and integrity of monitored systems.

Recommendation

Secure service tokens by storing them in secure locations such as secret managers and avoid placing them in plain configuration. Update the rancher-extension-stackstate extension to a version that addresses this issue.
