Description
Utilizing Docker via an unprotected TCP socket, an attacker can create a Docker container with the '/' path mounted with read/write permissions on the host server that is running the Docker container. As the Docker container executes commands as UID 0 it is honored by the host operating system allowing the attacker to edit/create files owned by root.
This check requires the Metasploit Remote Check Service to be enabled on Scan Engines. Please see the Metasploit Remote Check Service documentation for instructions on how to enable this functionality.
