Overview

github.com/hashicorp/nomad/nomad is an easy-to-use, flexible, and performant workload orchestrator that can deploy a mix of microservice, batch, containerized, and non-containerized applications. Nomad is easy to operate and scale and has native Consul and Vault integrations.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Privilege Escalation. The RPC layer allows non-server agents with a valid certificate signed by the same CA to access server-only functionality, enabling privilege escalation.
