VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Podman versions 1.8.1 through 5.8.4
Description A malicious container image can trick Podman into leaking host environment variables into the container. This occurs when an image contains an Env entry consisting of a key without a value. Furthermore, using an asterisk (*) as a glob operator allows the exfiltration of all environment variables set in the session from which the container is launched, even if their exact names are unknown.
Recommendations Update Podman to version 5.8.4 or 6.0.0.
