CVE-2026-18171
Overview
CVE-2026-18171 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 12, 2026.
Technical Description
Docker Sandboxes (sbx) applies the read-only intent of a runtime host mount to the in-guest container bind only: the underlying virtio-fs host-edge grant is added to the sandbox's policy-share allowlist with no access mode. The directory stays writable at its shared-export path, so unprivileged code inside the sandbox can derive that path and write to a host directory the operator attached read-only.
