In versions prior to 1.7.33, 2.3.2, 2.2.5, 2.1.9, and 2.0.10 the CRI plugin propagates labels from an image config (LABEL instruction in Dockerfile) to a container without validation. This may result in executing an arbitrary command on the host, via a plugin that consumes container labels for some operations. This issue has been fixed in versions 1.7.33, 2.3.2, 2.2.5, 2.1.9, and 2.0.10.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","score":9.4},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-20"],"references":["https://github.com/containerd/containerd/security/advisories/GHSA-xhf5-7wjv-pqxp"],"products":["linuxfoundation:containerd"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:42:16.820116992+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-53488","score":0.00176,"percentile":0.07132,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-xhf5-7wjv-pqxp","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-xhf5-7wjv-pqxp","summary":"containerd CRI — image-config `LABEL` flows to restart-monitor `binary://` logger: host-root command execution from an image pull","modified":"2026-09-10T03:51:09.792384728Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containerd/containerd","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containerd/containerd","ranges":[">=1.7.0 <1.7.33"],"fixed":["1.7.33"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","ranges":[">=2.0.0 <2.0.10"],"fixed":["2.0.10"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","ranges":[">=2.1.0 <2.1.9"],"fixed":["2.1.9"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","ranges":[">=2.2.0 <2.2.5"],"fixed":["2.2.5"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","ranges":[">=2.3.0 <2.3.2"],"fixed":["2.3.2"]}]},{"id":"GO-2026-5758","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2026-5758","summary":"containerd CRI — image-config `LABEL` flows to restart-monitor `binary://` logger: host-root command execution from an image pull in github.com/containerd/containerd","modified":"2026-06-26T19:59:21.410839900Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containerd/containerd","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containerd/containerd","ranges":[">=1.7.0 <1.7.33"],"fixed":["1.7.33"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","ranges":[">=2.0.0 <2.0.10",">=2.1.0 <2.1.9",">=2.2.0 <2.2.5",">=2.3.0 <2.3.2"],"fixed":["2.0.10","2.1.9","2.2.5","2.3.2"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
