CVE-2021-37841

7.8 highEPSS 1.0%

High (7.8) in docker desktop. EPSS 1.0% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Docker Desktop before 3.6.0 suffers from incorrect access control. If a low-privileged account is able to access the server running the Windows containers, it can lead to a full container compromise in both process isolation and Hyper-V isolation modes. This security issue leads an attacker with low privilege to read, write and possibly even execute code inside the containers.
