CVE-2026-55686 (GCVE-0-2026-55686)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5
Published

Modified
2026-06-26 18:31
Severity ?
5.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
CWE
  • CWE-61 - UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following
Summary
Podman is a tool for managing OCI containers and pods. From 3.0.0 until 5.7.1, running a malicious container image where the WORKDIR path contains a symlink can create a directory or modify ownership on the host filesystem. Modified ownership is less likely to happen as that requires help from an untrusted/malicious process that mutates the host filesystem tree during dereferencing of the WORKDIR path, to trigger a race condition. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.7.1.

CVE-2026-57231 (GCVE-0-2026-57231)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5
Published
2026-06-26 16:29
Modified
2026-06-27 02:41
Severity ?
7.5 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
CWE
  • CWE-200 - Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
  • CWE-668 - Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere
Summary
Podman is a tool for managing OCI containers and pods. From 1.8.1 until 5.8.4, a container image that contains a environment variable with just a key and no value can trick podman into passing that variable from the host into the container. This is made worse by the fact that using an asterisk (*) will cause podman to pass all host variables into the container. So essentially a malicious image can exfiltrate all podman environment variables that are set in the session from where the container is launched. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.8.4 and 6.0.0.
