Impact Level High
Likelihood Level Low

Description

The service is configured with a writable root filesystem, allowing applications inside the container to modify or add files. This increases the risk of unauthorized changes or the installation of malicious software if the container is compromised.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could alter application files, persist malicious code, or abuse the writable filesystem to escalate their access. This could lead to data breaches, service disruption, or facilitate lateral movement within your infrastructure.
