{"cve":"CVE-2022-29178","nvd":{"published":"2022-05-20T19:15:08.070","modified":"2026-06-17T04:39:45.147","status":"Modified","description":"Cilium is open source software for providing and securing network connectivity and loadbalancing between application workloads. Cilium prior to versions 1.9.16, 1.10.11, and 1.11.15 contains an incorrect default permissions vulnerability. Operating Systems with users belonging to the group ID 1000 can access the API of Cilium via Unix domain socket available on the host where Cilium is running. This could allow malicious users to compromise integrity as well as system availability on that host. The problem has been fixed and the patch is available in versions 1.9.16, 1.10.11, and 1.11.5. A potential workaround is to modify Cilium's DaemonSet to run with a certain command, which can be found in the GitHub Security Advisory for this vulnerability.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.2},"cwes":["CWE-276"],"references":["https://github.com/cilium/cilium/releases/tag/v1.10.11","https://github.com/cilium/cilium/releases/tag/v1.11.5","https://github.com/cilium/cilium/releases/tag/v1.9.16","https://github.com/cilium/cilium/security/advisories/GHSA-6p8v-8cq8-v2r3","https://github.com/cilium/cilium/releases/tag/v1.10.11"],"products":["cilium:cilium"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:31:59.322382750+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-29178","score":0.00289,"percentile":0.21479,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-6p8v-8cq8-v2r3","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-6p8v-8cq8-v2r3","summary":"Access to Unix domain socket can lead to privileges escalation in Cilium","modified":"2026-09-10T03:49:31.277999630Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/cilium/cilium","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/cilium/cilium","ranges":[">=1.11.0 <1.11.5"],"fixed":["1.11.5"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/cilium/cilium","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/cilium/cilium","ranges":[">=1.10.0 <1.10.11"],"fixed":["1.10.11"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/cilium/cilium","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/cilium/cilium","ranges":["<1.9.16"],"fixed":["1.9.16"]}]},{"id":"GO-2022-0457","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2022-0457","summary":"Access to Unix domain socket can lead to privileges escalation in Cilium in github.com/cilium/cilium","modified":"2026-02-04T03:12:29.906106Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/cilium/cilium","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/cilium/cilium","ranges":["<1.9.16",">=1.10.0 <1.10.11",">=1.11.0 <1.11.5"],"fixed":["1.9.16","1.10.11","1.11.5"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
