High · CVSS 8.4 (CVSS 4.0)EPSS 0.21%, 11th percentilePublished Updated Assigner: Docker
Description
Docker Sandboxes sbx cp does not safely confine host-side paths to a shared workspace. A malicious sandbox can create or replace a workspace symlink so that a later user-initiated copy reads a host file outside the workspace into the sandbox or writes sandbox-controlled data to a host path outside the workspace with the invoking user's permissions.
