How to fix?

Upgrade ckan to version 2.9.9, 2.10.1 or higher.

Overview

ckan is a world’s leading Open Source data portal platform.

It powers dozens of Open Data portals around the world, including data.gov, open.canada.ca and europeandataportal.eu but also regional, research and community organizations.

It makes easy to publish, share and find data online and is fully customizable via extensions and plugins.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authorization such that the ckan user (equivalent to www-data) owns code and configuration files in the docker container and has the permissions to use sudo.

These issues allow an attacker to perform code execution or privilege escalation if an arbitrary file write bug was available.
