CVE-2026-41326

A flaw was found in Kata Containers. An oversight in the CopyFile policy and perhaps the CopyFile handler allows untrusted hosts to write to arbitrary locations inside the guest workload image. This can be used to overwrite binaries inside the guest and exfiltrate data from containers; even those...

GHSA-Q49M-57VM-C8CC Kata Container has CopyFile Policy Subversion via Symlinks

Summary An oversight in the CopyFile policy and perhaps the CopyFile handler allows untrusted hosts to write to arbitrary locations inside the guest workload image. This can be used to overwrite binaries inside the guest and exfiltrate data from containers; even those running inside CVMs. Details...

Contras Affected by CopyFile Policy Subversion via Symlinks

Impact The Kata agent policies generated by the Contrast CLI had an issue in the CopyFile verification, which allowed arbitrary writes to the guest root filesytem. A malicious process on the host with the capability to connect to the Kata agent VSOCK could connect to the agent and issue a series ...
