CVE-2026-87053
operator-sdk-builder: operator-sdk-builder: Final container image runs as root (USER root never reverted)
A flaw was found in operator-sdk-builder. Due to an oversight in the Containerfile configuration, the final built container image runs with root privileges by default. This increases the attack surface of the container, as any process executed within it will have elevated permissions. If a malicious actor compromises the container, they could leverage these root privileges to perform unauthorized actions, potentially leading to a broader system compromise.
