  - BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and
    repeatable manner. Prior to 0.31.1, a custom frontend could place an invalid SecurityMode value in a
    crafted build request, and executor/oci/spec_linux.go treated the unsupported value as a non-sandbox mode
    without requiring the security.insecure entitlement. This disabled Seccomp and AppArmor protections for
    the build container even though Linux capabilities remained restricted. This issue is fixed in version
    0.31.1. (CVE-2026-61711)
