Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Control of Dynamically-Identified Variables via the handling of environment variables in container images. An attacker can access sensitive host environment variables by crafting a container image with an environment variable that has a key but no value, or by using an asterisk (*), which causes all host variables to be passed into the container.
