description

Blinko through 1.8.8 does not safely constrain plugin installation paths. An authenticated user may write plugin content outside the intended directory and, in root-running container deployments, could cause code to run with root privileges. Accounts that can access plugin installation are required; self-registration may make that access easier to obtain.

mitigation

Disable or tightly restrict plugin installation to trusted administrators, and disable self-registration where it is not required. Run the service container as a non-root user and limit writable paths until an updated release is available.
