CVE-2025-58712

Container root escalation via group-writable /etc/passwd

Published Oct 22, 2025 · Updated Oct 22, 2025

Incorrect permissions in Red Hat AMQ Broker container images allow local users in the root group to gain root privileges within the container. During image creation, /etc/passwd is assigned group-write permission, so a non-root process with root-group membership can append an account with UID 0. Command execution inside an affected container and root-group membership are required; successful exploitation controls that container as root.
