CVE-2025-7195 SUSE CVE security@suse.de SUSE Security Team SUSE CVE-2025-7195 Interim 1 5 2026-03-05T01:29:34Z current 2025-08-13T23:33:15Z 2026-03-05T01:29:34Z cve-database/bin/generate-cvrf-cve.pl 2020-12-27T01:00:00Z CVE-2025-7195 Early versions of Operator-SDK provided an insecure method to allow operator containers to run in environments that used a random UID. Operator-SDK before 0.15.2 provided a script, user_setup, which modifies the permissions of the /etc/passwd file to 664 during build time. Developers who used Operator-SDK before 0.15.2 to scaffold their operator may still be impacted by this if the insecure user_setup script is still being used to build new container images. In affected images, the /etc/passwd file is created during build time with group-writable permissions and a group ownership of root (gid=0). An attacker who can execute commands within an affected container, even as a non-root user, may be able to leverage their membership in the root group to modify the /etc/passwd file. This could allow the attacker to add a new user with any arbitrary UID, including UID 0, leading to full root privileges within the container.
