Key
local.privileged-mounts
Description
Controls whether multipass mount
is allowed.
Because mounts are performed as privileged users (root
on Linux and macOS, SYSTEM
on Windows), they allow write access to the whole host operating system. On Linux and macOS, only privileged users (members of sudo
, wheel
, admin
groups) can use Multipass, so this isn’t a concern.
On Windows mounts are disabled by default, as anyone with TCP access to localhost
(127.0.0.1
) can use Multipass, and by extension, gets access to the whole file system.
Allowed values
