# Container Privilege Analysis Report
*Generated: 2025-08-02*
## 🔍 Executive Summary
**Critical Finding**: 57 out of 108 add-ons (53%) request SYS_ADMIN privileges - a system administration capability that grants near-root access within containers.
**Risk Assessment**: HIGH - The widespread use of SYS_ADMIN significantly increases the attack surface and potential for container escapes.
## 📊 Privilege Usage Statistics
- **Total Add-ons**: 108
- **Add-ons with Privileges**: 60 (55%)
- **SYS_ADMIN Usage**: 57 add-ons (53%)
- **NET_ADMIN Usage**: 9 add-ons (8%)
- **DAC_OVERRIDE Usage**: 0 add-ons (0%) ✅
## 🚨 Top 5 Critical Add-ons Analysis
### 1. Filebrowser (8,427 installations)
**Privileges**: `SYS_ADMIN`, `DAC_READ_SEARCH`
**Device Access**: Extensive - All storage devices (sda-sdg, nvme, partitions)
**Purpose**: Web-based file management interface
**Analysis**:
-**Over-privileged**: SYS_ADMIN likely not needed for file browsing
-**Excessive device access**: Requests access to ALL possible storage devices
- ⚠️ **Security risk**: File manager with admin privileges = potential data exfiltration
- 🔧 **Alternative**: Use bind mounts with specific directories instead of SYS_ADMIN
**Justification Score**: 2/10 - Very weak justification
### 2. Nextcloud (Cloud Storage)
**Privileges**: `SYS_ADMIN`, `DAC_READ_SEARCH`
**Device Access**: All storage and video devices
**Purpose**: Personal cloud storage and collaboration platform
**Analysis**:
- ⚠️ **Potentially justified**: May need filesystem operations for cloud storage
-**Excessive device access**: Duplicate device entries in config
- 🔧 **Alternative**: Use specific capabilities like `CHOWN`, `FOWNER` instead of SYS_ADMIN
- ⚠️ **Security concern**: Cloud platform with admin access to all devices
**Justification Score**: 4/10 - Weak justification, alternatives exist
### 3. Plex NAS (Media Server)
**Privileges**: `SYS_ADMIN`, `DAC_READ_SEARCH`
**Device Access**: Storage + DVB TV tuners + video hardware
**Purpose**: Media server with hardware transcoding
**Analysis**:
- ⚠️ **Partially justified**: Hardware transcoding may require device access
-**SYS_ADMIN overkill**: Could use `DEVICE_CONTROL` for hardware access
-**Host networking**: Appropriate for media server discovery
- 🔧 **Alternative**: More specific device capabilities
**Justification Score**: 5/10 - Moderate justification, refinement needed
### 4. Arpspoof (Network Blocker)
**Privileges**: `SYS_ADMIN`, `DAC_READ_SEARCH`
**Device Access**: All storage devices (unnecessary)
**Purpose**: Block internet connection for local network devices
**Analysis**:
-**Justified for function**: ARP spoofing requires network manipulation
-**Wrong capabilities**: Should use `NET_ADMIN` + `NET_RAW`, not SYS_ADMIN
-**Inappropriate device access**: Doesn't need storage device access
- 🔧 **Alternative**: `NET_ADMIN` + `NET_RAW` capabilities only
**Justification Score**: 3/10 - Wrong privilege type used
### 5. Radarr (Movie Management)
**Privileges**: `SYS_ADMIN`, `DAC_READ_SEARCH`
**Device Access**: All storage devices
**Purpose**: Movie collection management (downloads, organization)
**Analysis**:
-**Not justified**: File management doesn't require SYS_ADMIN
-**Over-privileged**: Basic file operations don't need admin rights
- 🔧 **Alternative**: Standard file permissions with proper user mapping
- ⚠️ **Security risk**: Download manager with admin privileges
**Justification Score**: 1/10 - No justification
## 🔧 Privilege Reduction Recommendations
### Immediate Actions (Week 1)
#### 1. Filebrowser - Remove SYS_ADMIN
```json
"privileged": [
"DAC_READ_SEARCH" // Keep for file access
],
"devices": [
"/dev/fuse" // Only FUSE if needed
// Remove all storage devices, use bind mounts instead
]
```
#### 2. Radarr/Sonarr/Bazarr - Remove SYS_ADMIN
```json
"privileged": [
"DAC_READ_SEARCH" // Only for reading file attributes
],
"devices": [] // Remove all device access
```
#### 3. Arpspoof - Fix Privilege Type
```json
"privileged": [
"NET_ADMIN", // For network manipulation
"NET_RAW" // For raw socket access
],
"devices": [] // Remove storage device access
```
### Medium-term Actions (Week 2-4)
#### 4. Nextcloud - Reduce Privileges
```json
"privileged": [
"CHOWN", // For file ownership changes
"FOWNER", // For file permission changes
"DAC_READ_SEARCH" // For file access
],
// Remove duplicate device entries
```
#### 5. Plex - Specific Hardware Access
```json
"privileged": [
"DAC_READ_SEARCH" // For media file access
],
"devices": [
"/dev/dri", // GPU for transcoding
"/dev/dvb/", // TV tuners only
// Remove storage devices, use bind mounts
]
```
## 📋 Category-Based Privilege Guidelines
### Media Applications (Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr)
**Standard Privileges**: `DAC_READ_SEARCH` only
**Device Access**: GPU devices for transcoding only
**Justification**: Media management requires file reading, not system administration
### File Managers (Filebrowser, Nextcloud)
**Standard Privileges**: `DAC_READ_SEARCH`, optionally `CHOWN`/`FOWNER`
**Device Access**: None - use bind mounts
**Justification**: File operations can be handled through proper volume mounting
### Network Tools (Arpspoof)
**Standard Privileges**: `NET_ADMIN`, `NET_RAW`
**Device Access**: Network interfaces only
**Justification**: Network manipulation requires network capabilities, not system admin
### Development Tools (Code-server, Gitea)
**Standard Privileges**: Minimal - consider rootless containers
**Device Access**: None
**Justification**: Development tools should not require elevated privileges
## 🎯 Implementation Roadmap

# Container Privilege Reduction Examples
## 🔧 Practical Examples for Immediate Implementation
This document provides specific configuration changes to reduce container privileges in the top add-ons.
### 1. Filebrowser - Remove Excessive Privileges
**Current Configuration** (High Risk):
```json
{
"privileged": ["SYS_ADMIN", "DAC_READ_SEARCH"],
"devices": [
"/dev/dri", "/dev/dri/card0", "/dev/dri/card1",
"/dev/sda", "/dev/sdb", "/dev/sdc", "/dev/sdd",
"/dev/nvme", "/dev/nvme0", "/dev/nvme0n1",
"...70+ device entries..."
]
}
```
**Recommended Configuration** (Secure):
```json
{
"privileged": ["DAC_READ_SEARCH"],
"devices": [
"/dev/fuse" // Only if FUSE filesystems needed
]
}
```
**Rationale**: File browsing doesn't require system administration privileges. Use proper volume mounting instead of device access.
### 2. Radarr/Sonarr/Bazarr - Media Management
**Current Configuration** (High Risk):
```json
{
"privileged": ["SYS_ADMIN", "DAC_READ_SEARCH"],
"devices": ["All storage devices..."]
}
```
**Recommended Configuration** (Secure):
```json
{
"privileged": ["DAC_READ_SEARCH"],
"devices": []
}
```
**Rationale**: Media collection management is file I/O operations that don't require admin privileges.
### 3. Arpspoof - Network Blocking Tool
**Current Configuration** (Wrong Privileges):
```json
{
"privileged": ["SYS_ADMIN", "DAC_READ_SEARCH"],
"devices": ["All storage devices..."]
}
```
**Recommended Configuration** (Correct Privileges):
```json
{
"privileged": ["NET_ADMIN", "NET_RAW"],
"devices": [],
"host_network": true
}
```
**Rationale**: ARP spoofing requires network manipulation capabilities, not system administration. No storage access needed.
### 4. Nextcloud - Cloud Storage
**Current Configuration** (Over-privileged):
```json
{
"privileged": ["SYS_ADMIN", "DAC_READ_SEARCH"],
"devices": ["Duplicate and excessive device entries..."]
}
```
**Recommended Configuration** (Minimal):
```json
{
"privileged": ["CHOWN", "FOWNER", "DAC_READ_SEARCH"],
"devices": [
"/dev/fuse" // For external storage mounting
]
}
```
**Rationale**: Cloud storage needs file ownership management, not full system administration.
### 5. Plex - Media Server
**Current Configuration** (Over-privileged):
```json
{
"privileged": ["SYS_ADMIN", "DAC_READ_SEARCH"],
"devices": ["Storage + Video + DVB devices..."]
}
```
**Recommended Configuration** (Hardware-specific):
```json
{
"privileged": ["DAC_READ_SEARCH"],
"devices": [
"/dev/dri", "/dev/dri/card0", "/dev/dri/renderD128", // GPU transcoding
"/dev/dvb/adapter*/demux*", "/dev/dvb/adapter*/dvr*" // TV tuners only
]
}
```
**Rationale**: Media server needs GPU access for transcoding and TV tuner access, but not system administration.
## 🏗️ Implementation Templates
### Template A: File Management Applications
```json
{
"privileged": ["DAC_READ_SEARCH"],
"devices": [],
"map": [
"media:rw",
"share:rw",
"addon_config:rw"
]
}
```
**Use for**: Filebrowser, file managers, backup tools
### Template B: Media Applications
```json
{
"privileged": ["DAC_READ_SEARCH"],
"devices": [
"/dev/dri", // GPU transcoding only
"/dev/dri/card0",
"/dev/dri/renderD128"
],
"map": [
"media:rw",
"share:rw"
]
}
```
**Use for**: Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr
### Template C: Network Applications
```json
{
"privileged": ["NET_ADMIN", "NET_RAW"],
"devices": [],
"host_network": true
}
```
**Use for**: Network monitoring, VPN, proxy tools
### Template D: Database Applications
```json
{
"privileged": [],
"devices": [],
"map": [
"addon_config:rw"
]
}
```
**Use for**: PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Redis
## 📋 Validation Checklist
Before implementing privilege reduction:
- [ ] **Test functionality** with reduced privileges in development
- [ ] **Document breaking changes** in upgrade notes
- [ ] **Provide migration guide** for users
- [ ] **Update AppArmor profiles** to match new privilege set
- [ ] **Verify device access** is still functional where needed
## ⚠️ Breaking Changes Notice
**Important**: These privilege reductions may require users to:
1. **Restart add-ons** after configuration update
2. **Reconfigure external storage** for file managers
3. **Update file permissions** manually in some cases
4. **Check hardware transcoding** still works for media servers
## 🧪 Testing Approach
1. **Create test branch** with privilege reductions
2. **Test core functionality** of each affected add-on
3. **Verify security** with reduced privileges
4. **Document any issues** and create mitigation steps
5. **Rollback plan** if critical functionality breaks
