In versions prior to 1.7.33, 2.3.2, 2.2.5, 2.1.9, and 2.0.10 the CRI plugin propagates labels from an image config (LABEL instruction in Dockerfile) to a container without validation. This may result in executing an arbitrary command on the host, via a plugin that consumes container labels for some operations. This issue has been fixed in versions 1.7.33, 2.3.2, 2.2.5, 2.1.9, and 2.0.10.","published":"2026-07-01T00:11:20.610Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:31.446168722Z","cvss":null,"epss":{"score":0.00176,"percentile":0.07379,"asOf":"2026-08-14"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containerd/containerd","fixedVersion":"1.7.33"},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","fixedVersion":"2.0.10"},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","fixedVersion":"2.1.9"},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","fixedVersion":"2.2.5"},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","fixedVersion":"2.3.2"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/53xxx/CVE-2026-53488.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/security/advisories/GHSA-xhf5-7wjv-pqxp"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53488"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:31.446168722Z"}}
