Docker Desktop < 4.41.0 Access Control

medium Nessus Plugin ID 235122

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has an application installed that is affected by an access control vulnerability.

Description

The version of Docker Desktop for Mac is prior to 4.41.0. It is therefore affected by an access control vulnerability.
Registry Access Management (RAM) is a security feature allowing administrators to restrict access for their developers to only allowed registries. When a MacOS configuration profile is used to enforce organization sign-in, the RAM policies are not being applied, which would allow Docker Desktop users to pull down unapproved, and potentially malicious images from any registry.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Docker Desktop version 4.41.0 or later
