Buildkit GRPC SecurityMode privilege check: Build-time container breakout (CVE-2024-23653)

Snyk has discovered a vulnerability in all versions of Docker Buildkit <= v0.12.4, as used by the Docker engine. The exploitation of this issue can result in container escape to the underlying host OS when building an image using a malicious Dockerfile or upstream image (i.e, when using FROM). This issue has been assigned CVE-2024-23653.

Buildkit build-time container teardown arbitrary delete (CVE-2024-23652)

Snyk has discovered a vulnerability in all versions of Docker Buildkit <=v0.12.4, as used by the Docker engine. Exploitation of this issue can result in arbitrary file and directory deletion in the underlying host OS when building an image using a malicious Dockerfile or upstream image (i.e, when using FROM). This issue has been assigned CVE-2024-23652.

Buildkit mount cache race: Build-time race condition container breakout (CVE-2024-23651)

Snyk has discovered a vulnerability in all versions of Docker Buildkit <=v0.12.4, as used by the Docker engine. The exploitation of this issue can result in container escape to the underlying host OS when building an image using a malicious Dockerfile or upstream image (i.e. when using FROM). This issue has been assigned CVE-2024-23651.

Vulnerability: runc process.cwd and leaked fds container breakout (CVE-2024-21626)

Snyk has discovered a vulnerability in all versions of runc <=1.1.11, as used by the Docker engine, along with other containerization technologies such as Kubernetes. Exploitation of this issue can result in container escape to the underlying host OS, either through executing a malicious image or building an image using a malicious Dockerfile or upstream image (i.e., when using FROM). This issue has been assigned the CVE-2024-21626.

Leaky Vessels: Docker and runc container breakout vulnerabilities (January 2024)

Snyk security researcher Rory McNamara, with the Snyk Security Labs team, identified four vulnerabilities — dubbed "Leaky Vessels" — in core container infrastructure components that allow container escapes. An attacker could use these container escapes to gain unauthorized access to the underlying host operating system from within the container.

Securing the Gateway - Mastering API Security in the Modern Web Landscape

APIs are the backbone of modern web applications, yet we rarely assess security beyond the traditional WAFs and Gateways. In fact, in a recent scan of over 1.5k GraphQL endpoints revealed a staggering 46,000+ security issues and sensitive data leaks—all accessible without authentication, with 10% classified as critical. Due to API’s being widely used by developers, they have now become a favored attack vector for threat actors.
