DescriptionNVD

PluginScript attempts to chroot the plugin to the repoManagerRoot, this root is frequently / (the system root) in standard configurations or when using --root. If the chroot target is /, it is a no-op, allowing the traversed path to execute host binaries (like /bin/bash) with root privileges.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation via chroot bypass in PluginScript allows local users to execute host binaries such as /bin/bash with root privileges when the repoManagerRoot is set to '/' (a common default or result of --root). Because chroot to the system root is a no-op, path traversal within the plugin escapes intended isolation. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: inventory all systems running PluginScript and verify repoManagerRoot configuration; audit recent local user access and privilege escalation attempts. Within 7 days: implement interim controls by changing repoManagerRoot to a restricted non-root directory on affected systems and restricting local user access to PluginScript. …
