From 3.0.0 until 5.7.1, running a malicious container image where the WORKDIR path contains a symlink can create a directory or modify ownership on the host filesystem. Modified ownership is less likely to happen as that requires help from an untrusted/malicious process that mutates the host filesystem tree during dereferencing of the WORKDIR path, to trigger a race condition. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.7.1.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-06-26T16:30:41.345+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-06-26T18:31:36.842+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"podman","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"podman-container-tools\",\n                    \"product\": \"podman\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \">= 3.0.0, < 5.7.1\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","score":5.3,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/podman-container-tools/podman/security/advisories/GHSA-q6r4-3wmg-fwcq","https://github.com/podman-container-tools/podman/commit/d18e44e9abb3bf5b7294aa70806e1368fdddfdd0"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-55686","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-55686","identifiers":["CVE-2026-55686"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
