Description

Docker-based installations allow read-only access to any file within the Docker container via the https-port if explicitly exposed.
Other (non-Docker) installation types are not affected.

Workaround / Mitigation

  1. Adjust the firewall to block the https-port from outside.
  2. Alternatively configure docker to not expose the https-port

Fix

The fix restricts the access via https.
We recommend updating to the mentioned fix versions.
