Docker: `PUT /containers/{id}/archive` executes container binary on the host
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 28/100)
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.15% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. A user must open a link or visit a page. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: docker.io (Debian:13) 26.1.5+dfsg1-9+deb13u1; docker.io (Debian:14) 28.5.2+dfsg4-3; github.com/moby/moby/v2 (Go) 2.0.0-beta.14.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to docker.io (Debian:13) 26.1.5+dfsg1-9+deb13u1; docker.io (Debian:14) 28.5.2+dfsg4-3; github.com/moby/moby/v2 (Go) 2.0.0-beta.14 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Moby is an open source container framework. In versions prior to 29.5.1 and in moby/moby v2 prior to v2.0.0-beta.14, when a compressed archive is uploaded to a container via `PUT /containers/{id}/archive` or piped through `docker cp -`, the daemon resolves decompression binaries (such as `xz` or `unpigz`) from the container's filesystem rather than the host's due to incorrect ordering of operations. A malicious container image containing a trojanized decompression binary can achieve arbitrary code execution with full daemon privileges, including host root UID and unrestricted capabilities, when a user uploads a compressed (xz or gzip) archive into that container. This issue is fixed in Docker Engine 29.5.1 and moby/moby v2.0.0-beta.14. Workarounds include only running containers from trusted images, using authorization plugins to restrict access to the `PUT /containers/{id}/archive` endpoint, and avoiding piping compressed archives into containers created from untrusted images
