01

Who is affected

Terrarium (no specific versions listed).

02

Real-world impact

An attacker who can run code inside Terrarium can escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary commands as root on the host machine, potentially taking full control of the system.

03

Why this severity

The CVSS score is high because the attack requires only local access, no special privileges, and no user interaction, yet it gives the attacker complete control over the host. The vector shows low attack complexity, no required privileges, and a scope change that elevates the impact to all system resources.

04

What to do about it

no official fix yet

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.
