Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions memcached versions prior to 1.5.11-alpine

Description The official memcached docker images contain a blank password for a root user, which may allow a remote attacker to achieve root access with a blank password. Systems using the memcached docker container deployed by affected versions of the docker image are at risk.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.5.11-alpine, update to version 1.5.11-alpine or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider changing the root password to a secure value until a patch is applied. Restrict access to the memcached docker container to minimize the risk of exploitation.
