Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Symlink Attack due to improper validation in the subscriptions process. An attacker can exploit symbolic links and access sensitive host directories by tricking the system into mounting these directories inside a container. This is only exploitable if FIPS mode is enabled on the system.
