High · 8.8 Public exploit CVE-2026-73802 EUVD-2026-101107GHSA-x4q3-gcj3-m6cfGO-2026-6656

Gitea Runner host isolation bypass through container options

Published Oct 14, 2026 · Updated Oct 18, 2026 · Assigned by Gitea

Description

Gitea Runner passes workflow-controlled container options into Docker job container configuration while privileged mode is disabled. Host namespace settings, expanded capabilities, and security profile overrides can remain effective despite Privileged being forced false. A workflow author able to run jobs on an affected Docker-backed runner can use these options to access host namespaces and execute commands as root on the runner host, bypassing the intended container isolation.
