EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This medium-severity CVE scores 5.7 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.1%, top 97% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

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.
