CVE-2026-57231 [HIGH] CWE-200 CVE-2026-57231: Podman is a tool for managing OCI containers and pods. From 1.8.1 until 5.8.4, a container image tha 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

CVE-2025-6032 [HIGH] CVE-2025-6032: A flaw was found in Podman A flaw was found in Podman. The podman machine init command fails to verify the TLS certificate when downloading the VM images from an OCI registry. This issue results in a Man In The Middle attack.

CVE-2021-4024 [MEDIUM] CWE-200 CVE-2021-4024: A flaw was found in podman. The `podman machine` function (used to create and manage Podman virtual A flaw was found in podman. The `podman machine` function (used to create and manage Podman virtual machine containing a Podman process) spawns a `gvproxy` process on the host system. The `gvproxy` API is accessible on port 7777 on all IP addresses on the host. If that port is open on the host's firewall, an attacker can potentially use the `gvproxy` A

CVE-2021-20188 [HIGH] CWE-863 CVE-2021-20188: A flaw was found in podman before 1.7.0. File permissions for non-root users running in a privileged A flaw was found in podman before 1.7.0. File permissions for non-root users running in a privileged container are not correctly checked. This flaw can be abused by a low-privileged user inside the container to access any other file in the container, even if owned by the root user inside the container. It does not allow to directly escape the containe

CVE-2026-55686 [MEDIUM] CWE-61 CVE-2026-55686: Podman is a tool for managing OCI containers and pods. From 3.0.0 until 5.7.1, running a malicious c 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 file
