Missing Authorization

Severity
CWE	CWE-862: Missing Authorization
Confidence Level	High
Impact Level	High
Likelihood Level	Medium

Description

Mounting the Docker socket (docker.sock) inside a container gives processes in the container full control over the Docker host. This exposes the host to risks if the container is compromised.

Impact

If an attacker gains access to the container, they can use the Docker socket to escape the container and execute arbitrary commands on the host system, potentially leading to full system compromise, data breaches, or lateral movement across your infrastructure.
