A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability via crafted extension description/changelog could be abused by a malicious extension in Docker Desktop before 4.34.2.
A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability via crafted extension publisher-url/additional-urls could be abused by a malicious extension in Docker Desktop before 4.34.2.
Docker Desktop before 4.12.0 is vulnerable to RCE via a crafted extension description or changelog.
This issue affects Docker Desktop: before 4.12.0.
Docker Desktop before 4.12.0 is vulnerable to RCE via query parameters in message-box route.
This issue affects Docker Desktop: before 4.12.0.
In Docker 19.03.x before 19.03.1 linked against the GNU C Library (aka glibc), code injection can occur when the nsswitch facility dynamically loads a library inside a chroot that contains the contents of the container.
An issue was found in Docker before 1.6.0. Some programs and scripts in Docker are downloaded via HTTP and then executed or used in unsafe ways.
In Docker Notary before 0.1, the checkRoot function in gotuf/client/client.go does not check expiry of root.json files, despite a comment stating that it does. Even if a user creates a new root.json file after a key compromise, an attacker can produce update files referring to an old root.json file.
Impact When ran in sse or streaming mode (--transport), the Docker MCP Gateway is vulnerable to a DNS rebinding attack.
Vulnerability allows for Browser-Based exploitation of any MCP servers that are executing within the Docker MCP Gateway. Any tools or other features exposed by MCP servers can be manipulated by an attacker who is able to get a victim to visit a malicious website, or if a victim is served a malicious advertisement.
The MCP Gateway is not prone to this attack when started in its default stdio mode, which does not listen on any network ports.
Patches Patch available in version v0.28.0
Workarounds Do not start the MCP gateway in sse or streaming mode (use default stdio)
A vulnerability was identified in Docker Desktop that allows local running Linux containers to access the Docker Engine API via the configured Docker subnet, at 192.168.65.7:2375 by default. This vulnerability occurs with or without Enhanced Container Isolation (ECI) enabled, and with or without the "Expose daemon on tcp://localhost:2375 without TLS" option enabled. This can lead to execution of a wide range of privileged commands to the engine API, including controlling other containers, creating new ones, managing images etc. In some circumstances (e.g. Docker Desktop for Windows with WSL backend) it also allows mounting the host drive with the same privileges as the user running Docker Desktop.
Information Exposure Through an Error Message vulnerability in Hitachi RAID Manager Storage Replication Adapter allows remote authenticated users to gain sensitive information. This issue affects: Hitachi RAID Manager Storage Replication Adapter 02.01.04 versions prior to 02.03.02 on Windows; 02.05.00 versions prior to 02.05.01 on Windows and Docker.
Docker Desktop before v4.34.3 allows RCE via unsanitized GitHub source link in Build view.
Docker Desktop Installer.exe is vulnerable to DLL hijacking due to insecure DLL search order. The installer searches for required DLLs in the user's Downloads folder before checking system directories, allowing local privilege escalation through malicious DLL placement.This issue affects Docker Desktop: through 4.48.0.
Summary
A security vulnerability has been detected that allows attackers to bypass authorization plugins (AuthZ) under specific circumstances. The base likelihood of this being exploited is low.
This is an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-41110.
Impact
If you don't use AuthZ plugins, you are not affected.
Using a specially-crafted API request, an attacker could make the Docker daemon forward the request to an authorization plugin without the body. The authorization plugin may allow a request which it would have otherwise denied if the body had been forwarded to it.
Anyone who depends on authorization plugins that introspect the request body to make access control decisions is potentially impacted.
Workarounds
If unable to update immediately: - Avoid using AuthZ plugins that rely on request body inspection for security decisions. - Restrict access to the Docker API to trusted parties, following the principle of least privilege.

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Docker Desktop. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code within a container in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the processing of Docker CLI arguments. The issue results from an exposed dangerous function. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges to resources normally protected by Enhanced Container Isolation.

An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges to resources normally protected by Enhanced Container Isolation.
The Docker CLI --use-api-socket flag bypasses Enhanced Container Isolation (ECI) restrictions in Docker Desktop. When ECI is enabled, Docker socket mounts from containers are denied unless explicitly allowed via the admin-settings configuration. However, the --use-api-socket flag adds the Docker socket mount via the HostConfig.Mounts field rather than the HostConfig.Binds field. The ECI enforcement in the Docker Desktop API proxy only inspected Binds, allowing the mount to pass unchecked. This grants a container full access to the Docker Engine socket and, if the host user has logged in to container registries, their authentication credentials.
A local attacker with the ability to run Docker CLI commands can exploit this to escape ECI restrictions, access the Docker Engine, and potentially escalate privileges.
