A container privilege escalation flaw was found in certain Multi-Cloud Object Gateway Core images. This issue stems from the /etc/passwd file being created with group-writable permissions during build time. In certain conditions, an attacker who can execute commands within an affected container, even as a non-root user, can 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

Incorrect Default Permissions vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.7, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6. The default Jolokia authorization settings granted non-admin (low-privilege) web-login accounts access to Jolokia operations which allowed executing broker management operations meant for admins such as addQueue and removeQueue. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.2.6 or 5.19.7, which fixes the issue.
