AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, restrict membership in the root group within containers and avoid running untrusted code with such privileges. Review container build processes to ensure /etc/passwd permissions are correctly set to prevent group-writable access.

Description

CVE-2025-58713 is a container privilege escalation vulnerability in certain Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7 container images. The issue arises because the /etc/passwd file is created with group-writable permissions during the container build process. An attacker with command execution inside the container and membership in the root group can modify /etc/passwd to add a user with arbitrary UID, including UID 0, thereby gaining root privileges within the container.
