Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to External Control of File Name or Path through the newVolume process in the Docker volume plugin when the name field of a VolumeDriver.Create request is not properly validated. An attacker can cause the creation and mounting of a remote filesystem at an arbitrary host path, potentially shadowing or disrupting system directories, by submitting a crafted volume name containing directory traversal sequences (such as ..). This is only exploitable if an attacker can submit a VolumeDriver.Create request to the plugin socket, which is typically accessible to the Docker daemon or workloads in a multi-tenant orchestration environment.
