Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go | github.com/rancher/rancher | >= 2.0.0, < 2.4.16 | 2.4.16 |

Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
A vulnerability was discovered in Rancher versions 2.0 through the aforementioned fixed versions, 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.*`. Resource affected include:
**Downstream clusters:**
apiservices
clusters
clusterrepos
persistentvolumes
storageclasses
**Rancher management cluster**
apprevisions
apps
catalogtemplates
catalogtemplateversions
clusteralertgroups
clusteralertrules
clustercatalogs
clusterloggings
clustermonitorgraphs
clusterregistrationtokens
clusterroletemplatebindings
clusterscans
etcdbackups

There is not a direct mitigation besides upgrading to the patched Rancher versions.
