Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.45%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Insecure default settings of Portainer CE grant regular (non-admin) users privileges that allow host filesystem access and host-level code execution. An authenticated non-administrative user with endpoint access can exploit these settings to read host files or obtain root equivalent access on the host.
