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-2025-7195 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.15.2\n- github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.15.2\n- github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.15.2\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-2025-7195/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-7195/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-7195","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-7195/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-7195","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-856v-8qm2-9wjv","GO-2025-3852"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Kubernetes operator SDK","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers with container access can escalate to root by modifying group-writable /etc/passwd files created by older Operator-SDK versions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[],"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":"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. \n\nIn 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.","ecosystems":["Go"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Operator-sdk: privilege escalation due to incorrect permissions of /etc/passwd","id":"CVE-2025-7195","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Go","product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":26,"next":{"headline":"code-projects Jonnys Liquor browse.php sql injection","id":"CVE-2025-7196"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.15.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-856v-8qm2-9wjv"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.15.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk","source":"GHSA-856v-8qm2-9wjv"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.15.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk","source":"GO-2025-3852"}],"prev":{"headline":"D-Link DI-500WF jhttpd ip_position.asp sprintf stack-based overflow","id":"CVE-2025-7194"},"products":["Multicluster Engine for Kubernetes","Multicluster Global Hub","OpenShift Compliance Operator 1","OpenShift File Integrity Operator - FIO 1","RHEL-9-CNV-4.17","RHEL-9-CNV-4.18","RHEL-9-CNV-4.20","Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2","Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.11","Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.12","Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.13","Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.14","Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security 4","Red Hat Fuse 7","Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4","Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization 4","Red Hat Openshift Data Foundation 4.14","Red Hat Openshift Data Foundation 4.15","Red Hat Openshift Data Foundation 4.16","Red Hat Openshift Data Foundation 4.17","Red Hat Openshift Data Foundation 4.18","Red Hat Web Terminal","Red Hat build of Apicurio Registry 2","Red Hat build of Apicurio Registry 3","multicluster engine for Kubernetes 2.6","multicluster engine for Kubernetes 2.7","multicluster engine for Kubernetes 2.8","multicluster engine for Kubernetes 2.9","operator-sdk"],"published":"2025-08-07","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Go Vulnerability Database","prefix":"GO"},{"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-21","vendors":["Red Hat","operator-framework"]},"summary":"Attackers with container access can escalate to root by modifying group-writable /etc/passwd files created by older Operator-SDK versions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-7195/"}
