Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-9566 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/containers/podman/v4 (Go): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- github.com/containers/podman/v4 (Go): affected all versions up to 4.9.5; no fix listed\n- github.com/containers/podman/v4 (Go): affected all versions up to 4.9.5; no fix listed\n- github.com/containers/podman (Go): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- github.com/containers/podman/v2 (Go): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- github.com/containers/podman/v3 (Go): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- github.com/containers/podman/v5 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 5.6.1\n- github.com/containers/podman/v5 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 5.6.1\n- github.com/containers/podman/v5 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 5.6.1\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-9566/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-9566/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-9566","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-9566/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-9566","record":{"aliases":["ALSA-2025:15900","ALSA-2025:15901","ALSA-2025:15904","AZL-67046","AZL-67049","BELL-CVE-2025-9566","CLSA-2025-1759505734","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-9566","GHSA-wp3j-xq48-xpjw","GO-2025-3935","MINI-v4cx-4747-j7xx","RHBA-2025:15692","RHBA-2025:15712","RHBA-2025:16158","RHBA-2025:16163","RHEA-2025:4782","RHSA-2025:15900","RHSA-2025:15901","RHSA-2025:16480","RHSA-2025:16481","RHSA-2025:16482","RHSA-2025:16488","RHSA-2025:16515","RHSA-2026:18289","RHSA-2026:18722","RLSA-2025:15900","RLSA-2025:15901","RLSA-2026:18722","SUSE-SU-2025:03534-1","SUSE-SU-2025:03584-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20899-1","SUSE-SU-2025:3782-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-9566"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Podman container engine","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can overwrite arbitrary host files via symbolic links in ConfigMap or Secret volumes when using the podman kube play command.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"There's a vulnerability in podman where an attacker may use the kube play command to overwrite host files when the kube file container a Secrete or a ConfigMap volume mount and such volume contains a symbolic link to a host file path.
