Summary
gitea-runner: workflow container.options passes host namespaces and capability flags to job container when privileged mode is disabled
Details

Summary

act_runner appends workflow-controlled jobs.<job>.container.options directly to the Docker HostConfig for the job container. When runner privileged mode is disabled, only Privileged is forced false. Host namespace flags, capability expansion, and security profile overrides from workflow YAML are preserved in the final HostConfig. A workflow author can enter host PID/IPC namespaces and execute commands on the runner host as root.

Details

Source-to-sink path in act_runner:

  • ContainerSpec.Options accepts workflow YAML container.options
  • RunContext.options() appends workflow options to runner-level container options
  • Job container is created with Privileged: rc.Config.Privileged but also with Options: rc.options(ctx)
  • mergeContainerConfigs() parses Docker CLI-style options into HostConfig
  • When privileged mode is disabled, only copts.privileged is forced false
  • sanitizeConfig() only filters Binds and Mounts
  • Preserved dangerous HostConfig fields:
Privileged=false
PidMode=host
IpcMode=host
CapAdd=["ALL"]
SecurityOpt=["seccomp=unconfined","apparmor=unconfined"]

Attacker workflow YAML:

jobs:
  breakout:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    container:
      image: ubuntu:22.04
      options: >-
        --pid=host --ipc=host --cap-add=ALL 
        --security-opt seccomp=unconfined 
        --security-opt apparmor=unconfined
    steps:
      - name: host namespace marker
        run: |
          nsenter -t 1 -m -u -i -n -p -- sh -c "id > /tmp/marker"

Impact

An attacker who can submit a workflow to a repository using a shared Docker-backed act_runner can:

  • Enter host PID, IPC, and mount namespaces
  • Execute arbitrary commands as root on the runner host
  • Access runner host secrets, deployment credentials, and environment variables
  • Pivot to adjacent jobs running on the same runner
  • Access internal build infrastructure reachable from the runner host

Critical severity for shared runners where untrusted users can trigger workflows. High severity for single-tenant runners with privileged mode explicitly disabled as a security control.

Fix Direction

Treat container.options as untrusted input. Reject or strip when privileged mode is disabled:

  • Host namespaces: --pid=host, --ipc=host, --uts=host, --network=host
  • Capability expansion: --cap-add ALL, --cap-add SYS_ADMIN
  • Security overrides: --security-opt seccomp=unconfined, --security-opt apparmor=unconfined
  • Device access: --device, --device-cgroup-rule
  • Volume inheritance: --volumes-from
  • Runtime controls: --runtime, --cgroup-parent

9.9 (Critical)

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-11-27 06:31 – Updated: 2025-11-27 06:31

Details

The Tiger theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 101.2.1. This is due to the 'paypal-submit.php' file not restricting what user roles a user can register with. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply the 'administrator' role during registration and gain administrator access to the site.

GHSA-X568-473G-QJ6X

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-04-28 00:00 – Updated: 2024-09-16 18:31
VLAI
Details

In Miele Benchmark Programming Tool with versions Prior to 1.2.71, executable files manipulated by attackers are unknowingly executed by users with administrative privileges. An attacker could thereby obtain higher permissions. The attacker must already have access to the corresponding local system to be able to exchange the files.

Severity
7.3 (High)

Mitigation MIT-1
Architecture and Design Operation

Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.

Mitigation MIT-48
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.

Mitigation MIT-49
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.

CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse

An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.

CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation

An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.

CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation

An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
