High (8.8). EPSS 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in github.com/kata-containers/runtime 1.10.6, 1.11.1, 1.9.1.
A malicious guest compromised before a container creation (e.g. a malicious guest image or a guest running multiple containers) can trick the kata runtime into mounting the untrusted container filesystem on any host path, potentially allowing for code execution on the host. This issue affects: Kata Containers 1.11 versions earlier than 1.11.1; Kata Containers 1.10 versions earlier than 1.10.5; Kata Containers 1.9 and earlier versions.
