Vendor/Project: Jo-Jo98
Product: ciguard

Description

ciguard is a static security auditor for CI/CD pipelines. From 0.1.0 to 0.8.1, the published ghcr.io/jo-jo98/ciguard container image inherits the default root user because the Dockerfile lacks a USER directive. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.2.

Technical Analysis

The vulnerability in Jo-Jo98 ciguard versions 0.1.0 through 0.8.1 arises from the container image inheriting the root user by default due to the absence of a USER directive in the Dockerfile. This improper privilege management (CWE-269) could allow processes within the container to run with root privileges, which is generally discouraged in container security best practices. The issue is resolved in version 0.8.2 by presumably adding a USER directive or otherwise avoiding running as root.

Potential Impact

The impact is limited to potential privilege escalation within the container environment, where processes run as root instead of a less privileged user. The CVSS score of 3.0 reflects low confidentiality and integrity impact with no availability impact. There are no known exploits in the wild, reducing immediate risk.

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade to ciguard version 0.8.2 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Since this is a container image issue, replacing affected images with the patched version eliminates the risk. No additional vendor advisory is provided, so patch status is based on the version information in the description.
