SCA: security update for github.com/docker/compose/v2 (GHSA-gv8h-7v7w-r22q)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437045
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Docker Compose trusts the path information embedded in remote OCI compose artifacts. When a layer includes
the annotations com.docker.compose.extends or com.docker.compose.envfile, Compose joins the
attacker‑supplied value from com.docker.compose.file/com.docker.compose.envfile with its local cache
directory and writes the file there. This affects any platform or workflow that resolves remote OCI
compose artifacts, Docker Desktop, standalone Compose binaries on Linux, CI/CD runners, cloud dev
environments is affected. An attacker can escape the cache directory and overwrite arbitrary files on the
machine running docker compose, even if the user only runs read‑only commands such as docker compose
config or docker compose ps. This issue is fixed in v2.40.2. (CVE-2025-62725)
