{"id":"CVE-2022-23648","aliases":["GHSA-crp2-qrr5-8pq7","GO-2022-0344"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2022-23648","summary":"Insecure handling of image volumes in containerd CRI plugin","details":"### Impact\n\nA bug was found in containerd where containers launched through containerd’s CRI implementation with a specially-crafted image configuration could gain access to read-only copies of arbitrary files and directories on the host.  This may bypass any policy-based enforcement on container setup (including a Kubernetes Pod Security Policy) and expose potentially sensitive information.  Kubernetes and crictl can both be configured to use containerd’s CRI implementation.\n\n### Patches\n\nThis bug has been fixed in containerd 1.6.1, 1.5.10 and 1.4.13.  Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nEnsure that only trusted images are used.\n\n### Credits\n\nThe containerd project would like to thank Felix Wilhelm of Google Project Zero for responsibly disclosing this issue in accordance with the [containerd security policy](https://github.com/containerd/project/blob/main/SECURITY.md).\n\n### For more information\n\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n\n* Open an issue in [containerd](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues/new/choose)\n* Email us at [security@containerd.io](mailto:security@containerd.io)","published":"2022-03-03T00:00:00Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:32.137385415Z","cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":3,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containerd/containerd","fixedVersion":"1.4.13"},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containerd/containerd","fixedVersion":"1.5.10"},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containerd/containerd","fixedVersion":"1.6.1"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/commit/10f428dac7cec44c864e1b830a4623af27a9fc70","label":"containerd/containerd@10f428d"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/166421/containerd-Image-Volume-Insecure-Handling.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/tag/v1.4.13"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/tag/v1.5.10"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/tag/v1.6.1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/23xxx/CVE-2022-23648.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/security/advisories/GHSA-crp2-qrr5-8pq7"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/AUDQUQBZJGBWJPMRVB6QCCCRF7O3O4PA/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/HFTS2EF3S7HNYSNZSEJZIJHPRU7OPUV3/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/OCCARJ6FU4MWBTXHZNMS7NELPDBIX2VO/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-23648"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202401-31"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.debian.org/security/2022/dsa-5091"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/commit/10f428dac7cec44c864e1b830a4623af27a9fc70"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/AUDQUQBZJGBWJPMRVB6QCCCRF7O3O4PA"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/HFTS2EF3S7HNYSNZSEJZIJHPRU7OPUV3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/OCCARJ6FU4MWBTXHZNMS7NELPDBIX2VO"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/AUDQUQBZJGBWJPMRVB6QCCCRF7O3O4PA"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/HFTS2EF3S7HNYSNZSEJZIJHPRU7OPUV3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/OCCARJ6FU4MWBTXHZNMS7NELPDBIX2VO"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:32.137385415Z"}}
