Summary

In SingularityCE and SingularityPRO prior to 4.4.2 and 4.3.9/4.1.14 respectively, incorrect path-string matching in the singularity.conf limit container paths directive allows a container in a sibling directory such as /data/safe-but-unsafe to be run when /data/safe is allowed under setuid mode. This permits a user to run a container from outside the administrator's configured path allowlist. Installations that do not use limit container paths are not affected.

Risk Assessment

A user can bypass administrative path restrictions and run containers from disallowed locations, violating the organization's security policy.

Recommendation

Upgrade SingularityCE to 4.4.2 or later and SingularityPRO to 4.3.9 or 4.1.14 (or later).

Other vulnerabilities in SingularityCE

CVE-2025-64750Medium
SingularityCE and SingularityPRO are container platforms. Prior to SingularityCE 4.3.5 and SingularityPRO 4.1.11 and 4.3.5, if a user relies on LSM restrictions, an attacker can redirect the LSM label write operation to be ineffective. This requires running a malicious container image and controlling the content of a shared mount.

Original NVD description (English source)

SingularityCE and SingularityPRO are open source container platforms. Prior to SingularityCE 4.4.2 and SingularityPRO 4.3.9 and 4.1.14, incorrect path-string matching in the singularity.conf limit container paths directive allows a container in a sibling directory such as /data/safe-but-unsafe to be run when /data/safe is allowed under setuid mode. This permits a user to run a container from outside the administrator's configured path allowlist. Installations that do not use limit container paths are not affected. This issue is fixed in SingularityCE 4.4.2 and SingularityPRO 4.3.9 and 4.1.14.
