golang-github-appc-cni: CVE-2021-20206

Severity: High · CVSS 7.2CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Published: Feb 5, 2021, 12:00:00 AM UTC
Source: [NVD] · [CVE record]
EPSS: 1.52% · Oct 25, 2026

An improper limitation of path name flaw was found in containernetworking/cni in versions before 0.8.1. When specifying the plugin to load in the 'type' field in the network configuration, it is possible to use special elements such as "../" separators to reference binaries elsewhere on the system. This flaw allows an attacker to execute other existing binaries other than the cni plugins/types, such as 'reboot'. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.
