CVE-2020-24264
Portainer 1.24.1 and earlier is affected by incorrect access control that may lead to remote arbitrary code execution.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.12%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Portainer 1.24.1 and earlier is affected by incorrect access control that may lead to remote arbitrary code execution. The restriction checks for bind mounts are applied only on the client-side and not the server-side, which can lead to spawning a container with bind mount. Once such a container is spawned, it can be leveraged to break out of the container leading to complete Docker host machine takeover.
