Docker Desktop Community Edition Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. Actively exploited: CISA added this vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 03/11/2021. Patch affected systems as an emergency.
| Package | Affected versions | Patched versions |
|---|---|---|
| geode | = 1.12.0 | |
| docker | < 2.1.0.1 | 2.1.0.1 |
Docker Desktop Community Edition before 2.1.0.1 allows local users to gain privileges by placing a Trojan horse docker-credential-wincred.exe file in %PROGRAMDATA%\DockerDesktop\version-bin\ as a low-privilege user, and then waiting for an admin or service user to authenticate with Docker, restart Docker, or run 'docker login' to force the command.
