NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-podman-desktop package and not the rh-podman-desktop package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Podman Desktop is a graphical tool for developing on containers and Kubernetes. A critical authentication bypass vulnerability in Podman Desktop prior to version 1.25.1 allows any extension to completely circumvent permission checks and gain unauthorized access to all authentication sessions. The isAccessAllowed() function unconditionally returns true, enabling malicious extensions to impersonate any user, hijack authentication sessions, and access sensitive resources without authorization. This vulnerability affects all versions of Podman Desktop. Version 1.25.1 contains a patch for the issue.
