The version of containerd installed on the remote host is prior to 1.4.4-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2ECS-2023-014 advisory.

  - In containerd (an industry-standard container runtime) before versions 1.3.10 and 1.4.4, containers     launched through containerd's CRI implementation (through Kubernetes, crictl, or any other pod/container     client that uses the containerd CRI service) that share the same image may receive incorrect environment     variables, including values that are defined for other containers. If the affected containers have     different security contexts, this may allow sensitive information to be unintentionally shared. If you are     not using containerd's CRI implementation (through one of the mechanisms described above), you are not     vulnerable to this issue. If you are not launching multiple containers or Kubernetes pods from the same     image which have different environment variables, you are not vulnerable to this issue. If you are not     launching multiple containers or Kubernetes pods from the same image in rapid succession, you have reduced     likelihood of being vulnerable to this issue This vulnerability has been fixed in containerd 1.3.10 and     containerd 1.4.4. Users should update to these versions. (CVE-2021-21334)
