CVE-2026-94603— Podman: The `podman run` command can be instructed to disable almost all sandboxing by image annotation

Quick assessment

Affected
podman-container-tools podman
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Podman 是一款用于管理 OCI 容器和 Pod 的工具。在版本 4.4.0 至 5.8.8 以及 6.1.3 之前， 命令会将带有 注解的镜像视为检查点（checkpoint），并静默忽略用户提供的容器创建限制（例如 ），从而允许由镜像控制的检查点状态选择更弱的安全沙箱设置和能力。由于无根容器（rootless containers）在该模式下不支持检查点和恢复功能，因此不受此问题影响。该问题已在版本 5.8.8 和 6.1.3 中修复。

Vulnerability Title
Podman: The `podman run` command can be instructed to disable almost all sandboxing by image annotation
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Podman is a tool for managing OCI containers and pods. From 4.4.0 until 5.8.8 and 6.1.3, podman run treats an image carrying the io.podman.annotations.checkpoint.runtime.name annotation as a checkpoint and silently ignores user-supplied container creation restrictions such as --cap-drop=ALL, allowing image-controlled checkpoint state to select weaker sandbox settings and capabilities. Rootless containers are not affected because checkpoint and restore are unavailable in that mode. This issue is fixed in versions 5.8.8 and 6.1.3.
