CVE-2026-58053 is a critical privilege restriction bypass and container escape vulnerability in Gitea act_runner when using the Docker backend through act 0.262.0. The flaw arises because a workflow's container.options string is merged into the Docker job container HostConfig without adequately sanitizing dangerous runtime options. When act_runner is configured with privileged: false, it only forces the Docker Privileged flag to false, but still permits other security-sensitive options such as host PID namespace selection, added Linux capabilities, and relaxed security options to be applied unchanged. An attacker with permission to run a workflow on a Docker-backed runner can therefore create a job container with host namespaces and broad capabilities, defeating the intended container hardening and enabling escape from the container to the underlying host as root.
