Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the request handling flow inside the Docker daemon. An attacker can bypass authorization checks by sending specially-crafted requests that cause the authorization plugin to receive the request without its body, potentially allowing unauthorized actions.
Note: This is only exploitable if authorization plugins that are used rely on inspecting the request body to make access control decisions.
