NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cloud-init package and not the cloud-init package as distributed by RHEL.
cloud-init through 25.1.2 includes the systemd socket unit cloud-init-hotplugd.socket with default SocketMode that grants 0666 permissions, making it world-writable. This is used for the "/run/cloud-init/hook-hotplug-cmd" FIFO. An unprivileged user could trigger hotplug-hook commands.
