Docker Desktop for Windows Incorrect Permission Assignment Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities

Docker Desktop for Windows contains multiple incorrect permission assignment vulnerabilities in the installer's handling of the C:\ProgramData\DockerDesktop directory. The installer creates this directory without proper ownership verification, creating two exploitation scenarios: Scenario 1 (Persistent Attack): If a low-privileged attacker pre-creates C:\ProgramData\DockerDesktop before Docker Desktop installation, the attacker retains ownership of the directory even after the installer applies restrictive ACLs. At any time after installation completes, the attacker can modify the directory ACL (as the owner) and tamper with critical configuration files such as install-settings.json to specify a malicious credentialHelper, causing arbitrary code execution when any user runs Docker Desktop. Scenario 2 (TOCTOU Attack): During installation, there is a time-of-check-time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition between when the installer creates C:\ProgramData\DockerDesktop and when it sets secure ACLs. A low-privileged attacker actively monitoring for the installation can inject malicious files (such as install-settings.json) with attacker-controlled ACLs during this window, achieving the same code execution outcome.

Docker Desktop 安全漏洞

Docker Desktop是美国Docker公司的一个基于容器技术的用于轻量化部署应用的桌面软件。该产品可提供桌面环境可支持在Linux/Windows/Mac OS系统上创建一个容器（轻量级虚拟机）并部署和运行应用程序，以及通过配置文件实现应用程序的自动化安装、部署和升级。 Docker Desktop存在安全漏洞，该漏洞源于安装程序处理C:ProgramDataDockerDesktop目录时存在多个权限分配不当问题，可能导致任意代码执行。
