Vulnerability in Apache (CVE-2026-82430)
Summary
Vulnerability in Apache (CVE-2026-82430). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Exploitable via O_NOFOLLOW.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Description
When launching a Docker or OCI worker, the setuid-root worker-launcher first changes ownership of the
entire worker directory to the untrusted topology user, and only afterwards reads and acts on the command
file that the supervisor wrote into that same directory. The file is opened without O_NOFOLLOW and without
re-verifying its owner, so between the ownership change and the read the tenant can replace its contents.
For the Docker path the parsed command is executed with real uid 0, and the command sanitiser is not a
privilege boundary: it admits -v with an arbitrary source, --device, --cap-add, --security-opt,
--user and --net, and copies positional arguments through verbatim. A rewritten file therefore yields an
attacker-authored, root-equivalent container invocation with the host filesystem available.
For the OCI path the same rewrite window applies, and mount validation is structural only, with no
source or destination allow-list, so arbitrary host paths can be bind-mounted read-write into the
container. The username field of the command file is likewise attacker-settable and is checked only
against non-root and minimum-uid rules, permitting execution as another tenant's uid.
Mitigation
Upgrade to 3.1.0, where the command file is validated before the ownership change and re-verified on open,
and where mount sources and destinations are constrained by configuration.
Users who cannot upgrade immediately should disable Docker and OCI work…

CVE-2026-82430 (Apache) — CWE-367 / CVSS v3 7.8
Attack vector: local / no user interaction
Attack surface: O_NOFOLLOW / username
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (CWE-367) exists in Apache. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via O_NOFOLLOW.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Apache. Attack surface: O_NOFOLLOW / username.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.8/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'Apache' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.
