CVE-2025-49842: Conda-Forge Conda-Forge-Webservices

Low severity, CVSS 1.0. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

conda-forge-webservices is the web app deployed to run conda-forge admin commands and linting. Prior to version 2025.3.24, the conda_forge_webservice Docker container executes commands without specifying a user. By default, Docker containers run as the root user, which increases the risk of privilege escalation and host compromise if a vulnerability is exploited. This issue has been patched in version 2025.3.24.

Affected products

• Conda-Forge Conda-Forge-Webservices: before 2025.3.24 (fixed in 2025.3.24)
