'Name' => 'Rancher Server - Docker Exploit',
'Description' => %q(
Utilizing Rancher Server, an attacker can create a docker container
with the '/' path mounted with read/write permissions on the host
server that is running the docker container. As the docker container
executes command as uid 0 it is honored by the host operating system
allowing the attacker to edit/create files owed by root. This exploit
abuses this to creates a cron job in the '/etc/cron.d/' path of the
host server.
The Docker image should exist on the target system or be a valid image
from hub.docker.com.
Use `check` with verbose mode to get a list of exploitable Rancher
Hosts managed by the target system.
