BuildKit possible host system access from mount stub cleaner
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 37/100)
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.4% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 84.1% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: github.com/moby/buildkit (Go) 0.12.5; buildkit (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 0.12.5-1.1; docker (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 24.0.7_ce-3.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to github.com/moby/buildkit (Go) 0.12.5; buildkit (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 0.12.5-1.1; docker (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 24.0.7_ce-3.1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and repeatable manner. A malicious BuildKit frontend or Dockerfile using RUN --mount could trick the feature that removes empty files created for the mountpoints into removing a file outside the container, from the host system. The issue has been fixed in v0.12.5. Workarounds include avoiding using BuildKit frontends from an untrusted source or building an untrusted Dockerfile containing RUN --mount feature.
