Official Description
ciguard is a static security auditor for CI/CD pipelines. From 0.1.0 to 0.8.1, the published ghcr.io/jo-jo98/ciguard container image inherits the default root user because the Dockerfile lacks a USER directive. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.2.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-44218 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
