Docker Desktop < 4.54.0 Sensitive Data Leakage

high Nessus Plugin ID 278980

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has an application installed that is affected by a container escape vulnerability.

Description

The version of Docker Desktop is prior to 4.54.0. It is therefore affected by a data leakage vulnerability.
Docker Desktop diagnostics bundles were found to include expired Hub PATs in log output due to error object serialization. This poses a risk of leaking sensitive information in exported diagnostics, especially when access denied errors occurred. (CVE-2025-13743)

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 4.54.0 or later
