{"id":"CVE-2024-24557","aliases":["GHSA-xw73-rw38-6vjc","GO-2024-2512"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2024-24557","summary":"Moby classic builder cache poisoning","details":"The classic builder cache system is prone to cache poisoning if the image is built `FROM scratch`.\nAlso, changes to some instructions (most important being `HEALTHCHECK` and `ONBUILD`) would not cause a cache miss.\n\n\nAn attacker with the knowledge of the Dockerfile someone is using could poison their cache by making them pull a specially crafted image that would be considered as a valid cache candidate for some build steps.\n\nFor example, an attacker could create an image that is considered as a valid cache candidate for:\n```\nFROM scratch\nMAINTAINER Pawel\n```\n\nwhen in fact the malicious image used as a cache would be an image built from a different Dockerfile.\n\nIn the second case, the attacker could for example substitute a different `HEALTCHECK` command.\n\n\n### Impact\n\n23.0+ users are only affected if they explicitly opted out of Buildkit (`DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0` environment variable) or are using the `/build` API endpoint (which uses the classic builder by default).\n\nAll users on versions older than 23.0 could be impacted. An example could be a CI with a shared cache, or just a regular Docker user pulling a malicious image due to misspelling/typosquatting.\n\nImage build API endpoint (`/build`) and `ImageBuild` function from `github.com/docker/docker/client` is also affected as it the uses classic builder by default. \n\n\n### Patches\n\nPatches are included in Moby releases:\n\n- v25.0.2\n- v24.0.9\n- v23.0.10\n\n### Workarounds\n\n- Use `--no-cache` or use Buildkit if possible (`DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1`, it's default on 23.0+ assuming that the buildx plugin is installed).\n- Use `Version = types.BuilderBuildKit` or `NoCache = true` in `ImageBuildOptions` for `ImageBuild` call.\n\n","published":"2024-02-01T16:26:29.685Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:22.101722669Z","cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:L"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/docker/docker","fixedVersion":"24.0.9"},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/moby/moby","fixedVersion":"24.0.9"},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/moby/moby","fixedVersion":"25.0.2"},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/docker/docker","fixedVersion":"25.0.2"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/moby/moby/commit/3e230cfdcc989dc524882f6579f9e0dac77400ae","label":"moby/moby@3e230cf"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/24xxx/CVE-2024-24557.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/moby/moby/security/advisories/GHSA-xw73-rw38-6vjc"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-24557"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/moby/moby/commit/3e230cfdcc989dc524882f6579f9e0dac77400ae"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/moby/moby/commit/fca702de7f71362c8d103073c7e4a1d0a467fadd"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/moby/moby/commit/fce6e0ca9bc000888de3daa157af14fa41fcd0ff"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/moby/moby"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:22.101722669Z"}}
