HCL AION is affected by a vulnerability where generated containers may execute binaries with root-level privileges. Running containers with root privileges may increase the potential security risk, as it grants elevated permissions within the container environment. Aligning container configurations with security best practices requires minimizing privileges and avoiding root-level execution wherever possible.

HCL AION is affected by a vulnerability where container base images are not properly authenticated. This may expose the system to potential security risks such as usage of untrusted container images, which could lead to unintended behaviour or security impact.
