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 worker isolation, or restrict topology submission on affected supervisors to trusted principals. Note that the launcher must be rebuilt and reinstalled after upgrading.
