DescriptionNVD

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.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation in Portainer Community Edition stems from permissive default endpoint security settings that grant non-admin users with endpoint access the ability to create containers with bind mounts, privileged mode, host namespaces, device mappings, sysctl settings, and Linux capabilities. An authenticated low-privilege user can leverage these defaults to read arbitrary host files or break out of the container boundary to achieve root-equivalent code execution on the Docker host. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all Portainer Community Edition deployments and identify which are accessible to non-administrative users; prioritize instances managing production workloads. Within 7 days: Implement compensating controls and restrict endpoint access permissions to trusted administrative users only; review and disable all permissive container creation options (privileged mode, bind mounts, device mappings, host namespace access). …
