Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Default Permissions due to incorrect permissions set on the /etc/passwd file during the build process. An attacker can gain elevated privileges by modifying the /etc/passwd file if they have the ability to execute commands within the affected container, even as a non-root user, and are a member of the root group.
