{"data":{"id":"0eee6a4e-3f52-4c6a-ab76-32997b2ebe8a","title":"Old Docker authorization bypass pops up despite previous patch","summary":"A new vulnerability (CVE-2026-34040, rated 8.8 on the CVSS score, a 0-10 severity rating) allows attackers to bypass authorization plug-ins (add-on security tools that control who can run Docker commands) in Docker Engine and gain root-level access to host systems. The flaw exploits the same underlying problem discovered in 2016, where oversized API requests (over 1MB) are silently dropped before the authorization plug-in can inspect them, causing the plug-in to approve requests it cannot see, which Docker then executes in full.","solution":"Update to Docker Engine 29.3.1 or Docker Desktop 4.66.1. If immediate updates cannot be deployed, route API requests through a reverse proxy that blocks all requests over 512KB as a temporary mitigation. Additionally, administrators can search daemon logs using 'journalctl -u docker | grep \"Request body is larger than\"' to detect potential exploitation attempts.","labels":["security"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.csoonline.com/article/4157405/old-docker-authorization-bypass-pops-up-despite-previous-patch.html","publishedAt":"2026-04-10T18:50:59.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"high","attackType":["other"],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":[],"affectedVendorsRaw":[],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-04-10T18:50:59.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"trivial","impactType":["integrity","availability"],"aiComponentTargeted":"inference","llmSpecific":false,"classifierConfidence":0.72,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
