CVE-2026-44848 Â (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade github.com/portainer/portainer/api/http/proxy/factory/docker to version 2.33.8, 2.39.2, 2.41.0 or higher.
Overview
github.com/portainer/portainer/api/http/proxy/factory/docker is a management UI which allows to manage different Docker environments.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization in the executeDockerRequest process. An attacker can gain root-level access to the host system by installing and enabling malicious Docker plugins through unauthorized API calls. This is only exploitable if a non-admin authenticated user has been granted Docker endpoint access via RBAC.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by temporarily revoking Docker endpoint access for non-admin users via Portainer RBAC until the patched release is deployed.
