PowerShell Command Injection in Podman HyperV Machine ## Summary A command injection vulnerability exists in Podman's HyperV machine backend. The VM image path is inserted into a PowerShell double-quoted string without sanitization, allowing `$()` subexpression injection. ## Affected Code **File**: `pkg/machine/hyperv/stubber.go:647` ```go resize := exec.Command("powershell", []string{ "-command", fmt.Sprintf("Resize-VHD \"%s\" %d", imagePath.GetPath(), newSize.ToBytes()), }...) ``` ## Root Cause PowerShell evaluates `$()` subexpressions inside double-quoted strings before executing the outer command. The `fmt.Sprintf` call places the user-controlled image path directly into double quotes without escaping or sanitization. ## Impact An attacker who can control the VM image path (through a crafted machine name or image directory) can execute arbitrary PowerShell commands with the privileges of the Podman process on the Windows host. On typical Windows installations, this means SYSTEM-level code execution. ## Patch https://github.com/containers/podman/commit/571c842bd357ee626019ea97d030fb772fc654ed The affected code is only used on Windows, all other operating systems are not affected by this and can thus ignore the CVE patch. ## Credit We like to thank Sang-Hoon Choi (@KoreaSecurity) for reporting this issue to us. |

podman kube play symlink traversal vulnerability ### Impact The podman kube play command can overwrite host files when the kube file contains a ConfigMap or Secret volume mount and the volume already contains a symlink to a host file. This allows a malicious container to write to arbitrary files on the host BUT the attacker only controls the target path not the contents that will be written to the file. The contents are defined in the yaml file by the end user. ### Requirements to exploit: podman kube play must be used with a ConfigMap or Secret volume mount AND must be run more than once on the same volume. All the attacker has to do is create the malicious symlink on the volume the first time it is started. After that all following starts would follow the symlink and write to the host location. ### Patches Fixed in podman v5.6.1 https://github.com/containers/podman/commit/43fbde4e665fe6cee6921868f04b7ccd3de5ad89 ### Workarounds Don't use podman kube play with ConfigMap or Secret volume mounts. ### PR with test for CI Adding on 9/8/2025 by @TomSweeneyRedHat , this is the PR containing the test in CI: https://github.com/containers/podman/pull/27001 |
