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-2025-57849 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Red Hat Fuse 7. 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-2025-57849/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-57849/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-57849","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-57849/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-57849","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wf9w-74ph-2gqq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Red Hat Fuse","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers with container access can escalate to root by modifying group-writable /etc/passwd files in Red Hat Fuse images.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"fuse","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":6.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"}],"description":"A container privilege escalation flaw was found in certain Fuse images.

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.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Fuse: privilege escalation via excessive /etc/passwd permissions","id":"CVE-2025-57849","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Codeready-ws: privilege escalation via excessive /etc/passwd permissions","id":"CVE-2025-57850"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Container-native-virtualization: privilege escalation via excessive /etc/passwd permissions","id":"CVE-2025-57848"},"products":["Red Hat Fuse 7"],"published":"2026-03-13","related":[{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"In Spring for Apache Kafka, overly broad trusted-package matching in header mappers exposes JDK classes to deserialization","id":"CVE-2026-41731","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-09"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Undertow vulnerable to memory exhaustion due to buffer leak","id":"CVE-2021-3690","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-23"},{"cvss_score":7.4,"headline":"Misconfiguration in syndesis","id":"CVE-2019-14860","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-08"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in RESTEasy","id":"CVE-2020-10688","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-27"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-03-13","vendors":["Red Hat"]},"summary":"Attackers with container access can escalate to root by modifying group-writable /etc/passwd files in Red Hat Fuse images.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-57849/"}
