  "details": "Three Dockerfiles in scripts/docker/ and scripts/e2e/ lack a USER directive, meaning all processes run as uid 0 (root). If any process is compromised, the attacker has root inside the container, making container breakout significantly easier.\n**Partial fix (2026-02-08):** Commit 28e1a65e added USER sandbox to Dockerfile.sandbox and Dockerfile.sandbox-browser. The E2E/test Dockerfiles listed below remain unpatched.\n\n**Affected components:**\n- scripts/e2e/Dockerfile\n- scripts/e2e/Dockerfile.qr-import\n- scripts/docker/install-sh-e2e/Dockerfile\n- scripts/docker/install-sh-nonroot/Dockerfile (runs as app but with NOPASSWD sudo \u2014 see related advisory)\n\n**Technical Reproduction:**\n1. Open each Dockerfile listed above and search for a USER directive \u2014 none found.\n2. Run any of these containers: docker run --rm -it \u003cimage\u003e id\n3. Observe: returns uid=0(root).\n\n**Demonstrated Impact:**\n- Root inside the container enables kernel exploit attempts, volume mount abuse, and privileged syscall access.\n- Test images share the same base (node:22-bookworm) as production, creating risk of accidental deployment of root-running images.\n\n**Environment:** Base images node:22-bookworm and node:22-bookworm-slim default to root. Dockerfile.sandbox and Dockerfile.sandbox-browser were remediated in commit 28e1a65e; only the E2E/test images listed above remain affected.\n\n**Remediation:** Add a USER directive before CMD/ENTRYPOINT in each remaining Dockerfile:\n  RUN useradd --create-home --shell /bin/bash appuser\n  USER appuser",
