CVE-2015-5350
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—
In Garden versions 0.22.0-0.329.0, a vulnerability has been discovered in the garden-linux nstar executable that allows access to files on the host system. By staging an application on Cloud Foundry using Diego and Garden installations with a malicious custom buildpack an end user could read files on the host system that the BOSH-created vcap user has permissions to read and then package them into their app droplet.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
- Base score: 7.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.29%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 69
- Score date: 10/6/2026
