The Docker Enterprise socket must not be mounted inside any containers.
High Severity
<VulnDiscussion>The docker socket docker.sock (Linux) and \\.\pipe\docker_engine (Windows) should not be mounted inside a container, with the exception case being during the installation of Universal Control Plane (UCP) component of Docker Enterprise as it is required for install. If the docker socket is mounted inside a container it would allow processes running within the container to execute docker commands which effectively allows for full control of the host. By default, docker.sock (linux) and \\.\pipe\docker_engine (windows) is not mounted inside containers.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
