CVE-2024-9348Network attack vector

Remote code execution via unsanitized source link

Published Oct 16, 2024 · Updated Oct 17, 2024

Remote code execution in Docker Desktop before 4.34.3 allows remote attackers to run code through a crafted GitHub source link in the Builds view. The Builds view consumes image-build source information without sanitizing its GitHub link before treating it as an actionable target; Docker has not disclosed the exact launch primitive. Exploitation requires a prepared source link, a reachable build record, and active user interaction, after which code runs with the Desktop application's host-user privileges.
