Docker Desktop < 4.41.0 Information Disclosure Vulnerability

medium Nessus Plugin ID 235123

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has an application installed that is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The version of Docker Desktop for Linux is prior to 4.41.0. It is therefore affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.
The Recording of environment variables, configured for running containers, in Docker Desktop application logs could lead to unintentional disclosure of sensitive information such as api keys, passwords, etc. A malicious actor with read access to these logs could obtain sensitive credentials information and further use it to gain unauthorized access to other systems. Starting with version 4.41.0, Docker Desktop no longer logs environment variables set by the user.

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
