{"cve":"CVE-2025-65105","nvd":{"published":"2025-12-02T18:15:48.947","modified":"2026-10-18T18:10:00.100","status":"Analyzed","description":"Apptainer is an open source container platform. In Apptainer versions less than 1.4.5, a container can disable two of the forms of the little used --security option, in particular the forms --security=apparmor:<profile> and --security=selinux:<label> which otherwise put restrictions on operations that containers can do. The --security option has always been mentioned in Apptainer documentation as being a feature for the root user, although these forms do also work for unprivileged users on systems where the corresponding feature is enabled. Apparmor is enabled by default on Debian-based distributions and SElinux is enabled by default on RHEL-based distributions, but on SUSE it depends on the distribution version. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.5.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","score":5.3},"cwes":["CWE-61","CWE-706"],"references":["https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer/commit/4313b42717e18a4add7dd7503528bc15af905981","https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer/commit/82f17900a0c31bc769bf9b4612d271c7068d8bf2","https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer/pull/3226","https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer/security/advisories/GHSA-j3rw-fx6g-q46j","https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/security/advisories/GHSA-cgrx-mc8f-2prm"],"products":["lfprojects:apptainer"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:16:02.354564667+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-65105","score":0.00232,"percentile":0.13942,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-j3rw-fx6g-q46j","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-j3rw-fx6g-q46j","summary":"Apptainer ineffectively applies selinux and apparmor --security options","modified":"2026-02-04T03:44:37.183866Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/apptainer/apptainer","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/apptainer/apptainer","ranges":["<1.4.5"],"fixed":["1.4.5"]}]},{"id":"GO-2025-4176","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2025-4176","summary":"Apptainer ineffectively applies selinux and apparmor --security options in github.com/apptainer/apptainer","modified":"2026-03-03T04:57:43.462263Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/apptainer/apptainer","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/apptainer/apptainer","ranges":["<1.4.5"],"fixed":["1.4.5"]}]}],"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).
