Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in conda-forge Web Services by conda-forge

CVE-2025-49842

What is CVE-2025-49842?

The conda-forge web services application, used for executing conda-forge admin commands and linting, previously allowed command execution without specifying a user in its Docker container. This behavior meant that commands were executed as the root user by default, leading to potential privilege escalation and heightened security risks. If exploited, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to host systems. This issue has been addressed and patched in version 2025.3.24, enhancing the security posture of the application.
