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. In affected images, the \/etc\/passwd file was 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.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>Severity:<\/strong> 5.2 | MEDIUM<br \/>\n<br \/>\nVisit the link for more details, such as CVSS details, affected products, timeline, and more&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CVE ID : CVE-2025-7195 Published : Aug. 7, 2025, 7:15 p.m. | 2\u00a0hours, 14\u00a0minutes ago Description : Early versions of Operator-SDK provided an insecure method to allow operator containers to run in environments that used a random UID.
