CVE-2025-9074

A vulnerability was identified in Docker Desktop that allows local running Linux containers to access the Docker Engine API via the configured Docker subnet, at 192.168.65.7:2375 by default. This vulnerability occurs with or without Enhanced Container Isolation (ECI) enabled, and with or without the "Expose daemon on tcp://localhost:2375 without TLS" option enabled. This can lead to execution of a wide range of privileged commands to the engine API, including controlling other containers, creating new ones, managing images etc. In some circumstances (e.g. Docker Desktop for Windows with WSL backend) it also allows mounting the host drive with the same privileges as the user running Docker Desktop.

Summary		(es) Se identificó una vulnerabilidad en Docker Desktop que permite a los contenedores Linux locales acceder a la API del motor Docker a través de la subred de Docker configurada, 192.168.65.7:2375 por defecto. Esta vulnerabilidad se produce con o sin el Aislamiento Mejorado de Contenedores (ECI) habilitado, y con o sin la opción "Exponer daemon en tcp://localhost:2375 sin TLS". Esto puede provocar la ejecución de una amplia gama de comandos privilegiados en la API del motor, incluyendo el control de otros contenedores, la creación de nuevos, la gestión de imágenes, etc. En algunas circunstancias (por ejemplo, Docker Desktop para Windows con backend WSL), también permite montar la unidad host con los mismos privilegios que el usuario que ejecuta Docker Desktop.
