Potential Security Issue in Docker Image

Hi team,

I’ve encountered what seems to be a security compromise in the Docker container I pulled via the Unraid Community Apps for filebrowser/filebrowser.

Here’s what happened:

  • The container (named FileBrowser-PNP on my Unraid) was trying to download and execute a file from a shady domain: https://aws.orgserv.dnsnet.cloud.anondns.net
  • When I inspected the container manually (docker exec), I found an unauthorized binary named /CmdgQvxO running persistently as root.
  • This binary was removed and the image deleted immediately for security reasons.

Image details:

  • Repo: filebrowser/filebrowser
  • Installed via: Unraid Community Applications
  • SHA256 digest: Not available — the image was deleted immediately after identifying suspicious activity, and no SHA could be recovered from logs or diagnostics.
  • Installed plugins: only community-trusted ones like Community Applications, Compose Manager, intel-gpu-top, Theme Engine, Unraid Patch, etc.

Thanks.
