An insecure modification vulnerability in the /etc/passwd file was found in the container openshift/apb-base, affecting versions before the following 4.3.5, 4.2.21, 4.1.37, and 3.11.188-4. An attacker with access to the container could use this flaw to modify /etc/passwd and escalate their privileges.
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
