CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/281.html

A privilege escalation flaw was found in Podman. This flaw allows an attacker to publish a malicious image to a public registry. Once this image is downloaded by a potential victim, the vulnerability is triggered after a user runs the podman top command. This action gives the attacker access to the host filesystem, leading to information disclosure or denial of service.

Weakness

The product does not preserve permissions or incorrectly preserves permissions when copying, restoring, or sharing objects, which can cause them to have less restrictive permissions than intended.
