No official fix yet. If none appears within 45 days of first tracking, this entry is removed automatically.

01

Who is affected

manga-image-translator, any version that runs the shared API server mode, typically used in Docker deployments.

02

Real-world impact

An attacker could run arbitrary code on the server, taking control of the container and potentially accessing or modifying data, or using the host system.

03

Why this severity

The CVSS score of 9.2 reflects the high impact of remote code execution with no authentication or user interaction required, and the ability to compromise the entire container.

04

What to do about it

no official fix yet
interim mitigations
  • Disable the shared API server mode or remove the /execute and /simple_execute endpoints.
  • Restrict network access to the API endpoints so only trusted hosts can reach them.
  • Run the container as a non‑root user instead of the default root account.

No official fix or mitigation is documented in the sources yet. Monitor the vendor advisory and apply the patch as soon as it is released.
