Improper username validation in Rancher Manager User resource updates
CVE-2024-58260 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in Rancher Manager caused by missing server-side validation of the .username field on User resources. A user with permissions to update other User resources can modify usernames in ways that Rancher should reject, including changing the admin account username or assigning the username admin to another account. The issue stems from insufficient validation and enforcement of username immutability on the server side. SUSE indicates the fix adds a webhook check to prevent usernames from being modified after they have been set.
