This leads to a direct privilege escalation scenario identified as CWE-269.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The vulnerability is exploitable only when an attacker can invoke crun exec with the -u option, which is inferred to be possible if the attacker has permission to run crun commands in the environment. If such access exists, a single command can elevate privileges within the container. EPSS information is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the impact is severe because it allows uncontrolled privilege escalation. Attacks are likely local and straightforward once the execution command is reachable."}}}}, "created": "2026-03-26T11:31:01.259349+00:00", "updated": "2026-03-26T12:09:03.197819+00:00", "vendors": ["containers", "containers$PRODUCT$crun"]}
