Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- The docker_pull module uses the realm parameter from a Docker registry's WWW-Authenticate response header
as the authentication endpoint without validation. An attacker in a man-in-the-middle position between
bbot and a Docker registry could modify this header to redirect the authentication request to an arbitrary
endpoint, potentially leaking authentication tokens. (CVE-2026-12566)
