It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-33414 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/containers/podman/v4 (Go): affected from 4.8.0; no fix listed\n- github.com/containers/podman/v4 (Go): affected from 4.8.0 up to 4.9.5; no fix listed\n- github.com/containers/podman/v4 (Go): affected from 4.8.0 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 5.8.2\n- github.com/containers/podman/v5 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 5.8.2\n- github.com/containers/podman/v5 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 5.8.2\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-2026-33414/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-33414/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-33414","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-33414/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-33414","record":{"aliases":["AZL-82985","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-33414","GHSA-hc8w-h2mf-hp59","GO-2026-5421","MINI-j94x-3vqf-vv92","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-33414","openSUSE-SU-2026:10706-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Podman container tool","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary PowerShell commands with SYSTEM privileges by injecting code into VM image paths in Podman's HyperV backend on Windows.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"podman","vendor":"podman_project"}],"cvss":{"score":4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"},{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"Podman is a tool for managing OCI containers and pods. Versions 4.8.0 through 5.8.1 contain a command injection vulnerability in the HyperV machine backend in pkg/machine/hyperv/stubber.go, where the VM image path is inserted into a PowerShell double-quoted string without sanitization, allowing $() subexpression injection. Because PowerShell evaluates subexpressions inside double-quoted strings before executing the outer command, an attacker who can control the VM image path through a crafted machine name or image directory can execute arbitrary PowerShell commands with the privileges of the Podman process. On typical Windows installations this means SYSTEM-level code execution, and only Windows is affected as the code is exclusive to the HyperV backend. This issue has been patched in version 5.8.2.","ecosystems":["Go","openSUSE:Tumbleweed"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"PowerShell Command Injection in Podman HyperV Machine","id":"CVE-2026-33414","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Go","product":null,"products":[],"type":"command_injection","year":"2026"},"n_packages":10,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Discourse: Improper Access Control in discourse-ai Allows Unauthorized Category Content Exposure","id":"CVE-2026-33415"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/containers/podman","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containers/podman","source":"GO-2026-5421"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/containers/podman/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containers/podman/v2","source":"GO-2026-5421"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/containers/podman/v3","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containers/podman/v3","source":"GO-2026-5421"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["4.8.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/containers/podman/v4","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containers/podman/v4","source":"GO-2026-5421"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["4.8.0"],"last_affected":["4.9.5"],"package":"github.com/containers/podman/v4","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-hc8w-h2mf-hp59"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["4.8.0"],"last_affected":["4.9.5"],"package":"github.com/containers/podman/v4","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containers/podman/v4","source":"GHSA-hc8w-h2mf-hp59"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["5.8.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/containers/podman/v5","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-hc8w-h2mf-hp59"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["5.8.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/containers/podman/v5","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containers/podman/v5","source":"GHSA-hc8w-h2mf-hp59"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["5.8.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/containers/podman/v5","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containers/podman/v5","source":"GO-2026-5421"},{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Tumbleweed","fixed":["5.8.2-1.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"podman","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/podman\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Tumbleweed","source":"openSUSE-SU-2026:10706-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"etcd: Authorization bypasses in multiple APIs","id":"CVE-2026-33413"},"products":["podman"],"published":"2026-04-14","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Podman: Malformed Image can trick podman run into leaking host environment variables into the container","id":"CVE-2026-57231","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-26"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Use after free in podman","id":"CVE-2022-2738","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-01"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Podman's incorrect handling of the supplementary groups may lead to data disclosure, modification","id":"CVE-2022-2989","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-13"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Improper Authorization in github.com/containers/libpod","id":"CVE-2021-20188","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-02-11"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Podman Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition","id":"CVE-2023-0778","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-27"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Podman/Varlink API Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2019-25067","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-06-09"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Podman Origin Validation Error","id":"CVE-2021-20199","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-02-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Go Vulnerability Database","prefix":"GO"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"openSUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-15","vendors":["containers"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary PowerShell commands with SYSTEM privileges by injecting code into VM image paths in Podman's HyperV backend on Windows.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-33414/"}
