VectorAV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions podman versions 4.0.0 through 5.6.1
Description A vulnerability exists in podman where an attacker can use the kube play command to overwrite host files. This occurs when the kube file contains a Secret or a ConfigMap volume mount, and that volume contains a symbolic link to a host file path. In a successful attack, the attacker can control the target file to be overwritten but not the content written into the file.
Recommendations Update podman to version 5.6.1 or later.
