Nomad patches three isolation flaws, including workload-to-host symlink attacks

HashiCorp fixes namespace disclosure and two workload-to-host symlink paths. Host impact depends on job permissions, driver or migration configuration and client-agent privileges. Upgrade Community to 2.1.0 or Enterprise to 2.1.0, 1.11.12 or 1.10.18.

The vendor bulletins do not report real-world exploitation.

What happened

These are three separate bugs in one Nomad release batch, not unauthenticated takeover of every cluster. Namespace reads are an ACL issue; host impact requires a malicious workload and the specific write or data-reuse path. Root-level impact requires suitable client-agent privileges and writable host targets. L3 reflects a mainstream scheduler with documented isolation failures; no victim count or active-exploitation claim is supplied.

What’s in the bowl

Cross-namespace read authorization bypass

A token with a relevant read capability in one namespace can disclose objects in other namespaces; single-namespace clusters are unaffected. This does not grant cross-namespace writes.

Symlink following during payload and executor-log writes

A workload that plants allocation symlinks can redirect writes with client-agent privileges. Dispatch payloads require job submission and dispatch permissions; Linux exec/java executor logs require job submission. A root agent can expose the host to root code execution.

Symlink following during allocation data migration

Submitting and updating a job with sticky ephemeral disk reuse on the same client can redirect permission and ownership changes to host directories through a planted symlink. No previous-allocation data reuse means this migration path is not exposed.
