It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-15789 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Canonical MicroK8s. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-15789/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-15789/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-15789","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-15789/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-15789","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2fvj-qg75-5fhx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MicroK8s Kubernetes distribution","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local low-privilege user can escalate to root on the host by provisioning a privileged container in MicroK8s.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"microk8s","vendor":"canonical"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Privilege escalation vulnerability in MicroK8s allows a low privilege user with local access to obtain root access to the host by provisioning a privileged container.
