Last modified
CVE-2019-11245 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.9/10 on the CVSS scale. In kubelet v1.13.6 and v1.14.2, containers for pods that do not specify an explicit runAsUser attempt to run as uid 0 (root) on container restart, or if the image was previously pulled to the node. If the pod specified mustRunAsNonRoot: true, the kubelet will refuse to start the container as root. EPSS estimates a 0.60% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
