This module obtains root privileges from any host account with access to the Docker daemon. Usually this includes accounts in the `docker` group.
Linux
x86, x64, armle, mipsle, mipsbe
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/linux/local/docker_daemon_privilege_escalation
msf exploit(docker_daemon_privilege_escalation) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(docker_daemon_privilege_escalation) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(docker_daemon_privilege_escalation) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(docker_daemon_privilege_escalation) > exploit
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
