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.

Why it matters

Internet-facing
Not identified as a common internet-facing category
Exploitation likelihood
low
  • Requires local access, limiting mass exploitation
  • Low attack complexity — no special conditions needed to exploit
  • Requires low-privilege access first
  • Requires the victim to take an action (e.g. open a file or link)
Recommended mitigation

Apply the vendor patch as soon as it's available or already released. Review and restrict accounts with the privilege level this vulnerability requires. User-awareness training reduces risk here, since exploitation depends on tricking a user into acting.

This analysis is generated from structured CVSS vector data, CISA KEV cross-referencing, and vendor/product category rules — not a manual expert review. Treat it as a starting point, not a substitute for your own assessment.
