Local host privilege escalation via security contexts
Published Jul 31, 2023 · Updated Oct 18, 2024
Privilege escalation in IBM Storage Scale Container Native Storage Access 5.1.2.1 through 5.1.6.1 allows local users to gain host privileges. The published record identifies improperly configured security context settings as the enabling condition but does not disclose the affected manifest, field, or privilege transition. Exploitation requires local execution in the container environment and can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the host.
