CVE-2026-123082: Docker Desktop logs can expose the Docker Hub access token
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.11% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Docker Docker Desktop 4.94.0.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Docker Docker Desktop 4.94.0 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Docker Desktop before version 4.94.0 could write the signed-in user's Docker Hub access token (a JWT) in cleartext to application logs and diagnostics bundles. IPC payloads that were bare JSON strings or arrays were not redacted before logging, and a Docker Desktop component logged the token when it requested it from the backend. An attacker with read access to these files could obtain the token and use it to read and modify the user's Docker Hub data as that user while the token remains valid. Docker Desktop 4.94.0 redacts these payloads. The fix does not rewrite logs written by earlier versions, which can still contain tokens after upgrading.
