Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Link Resolution Before File Access (Leaky Vessels) allowing arbitrary file deletion on the host system. A malicious BuildKit frontend or Dockerfile using RUN --mount could trick the feature that removes empty files created for the mountpoints into removing arbitrary files in the host filesystem.

Workaround

Avoid using BuildKit frontend from an untrusted source or building an untrusted Dockerfile containing the RUN --mount feature.

This vulnerability was discovered and responsibly disclosed as part of the Leaky Vessels project.
