What is CVE-2025-58712?

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in specific AMQ Broker images due to the creation of the /etc/passwd file with group-writable permissions during the build process. Under particular conditions, an attacker with command execution ability within an affected container, even as a non-root user, could exploit their group membership to manipulate the /etc/passwd file. This exploitation may facilitate the addition of a user with arbitrary UID, including UID 0, granting the attacker full root access within the container environment.
