Technical details

A privilege escalation vulnerability (CWE-266) in boneIO black_debian_images versions 1.2.0 through 1.6.0 stems from excessive privileges assigned to the boneio service account: full passwordless sudo access and membership in the docker group. An attacker with local access to the compromised boneio account can exploit these privileges to escalate to root. The fix removes sudoers rules and docker group membership during image sealing and via migrations applied on first boot after upgrade.
