How to Fix CVE-2023-26054

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Github.com/moby/buildkit dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

github.com/moby/buildkit fixed: 0.11.4
Upgrade github.com/moby/buildkit to 0.11.4
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for github.com/moby/buildkit

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2023-26054, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/moby/buildkit:

inspect dependencies for github.com/moby/buildkit

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/moby/buildkit in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.11.4), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In Github.com/moby/buildkit, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

When the user sends a build request that contains a Git URL that contains credentials and the build creates a provenance attestation describing that build, these credentials could be visible from the provenance attestation. Git URL can be passed in two ways: 1) Invoking build directly from a URL with credentials. ``` buildctl build --frontend dockerfile.v0 --context https://<credentials>@url/repo.git ``` Equivalent in `docker buildx` would be ``` docker buildx build https://<credentials>@url/repo.git ``` 2) If the client sends additional VCS info hint parameters on builds from a local source. Usually, that would mean reading the origin URL from `.git/config` file. Thanks to Oscar Alberto Tovar for discovering the issue. ### Impact When a build is performed under specific conditions where credentials were passed to BuildKit they may be visible to everyone who has access to provenance attestation. Provenance attestations and VCS info hints were added in version v0.11.0. Previous versions are not vulnerable. In v0.10, when building directly from Git URL, the same URL could be visible in `BuildInfo` structure that is a predecessor of Provenance attestations. Previous versions are not vulnerable. Note: [Docker Build-push Github action](https://github.com/docker/build-push-action) builds from Git URLs by default but **is not** affected by this issue even when working with private repositories because the credentials are passed [with build secrets](https://github.com/docker/build-push-action/blob/v4.0.0/src/context.ts#L203) and not with URLs. ### Patches Bug is fixed in v0.11.4 . ### Workarounds It is recommended to pass credentials with build secrets when building directly from Git URL as a more secure alternative than modifying the URL. In Docker Buildx, VCS info hint can be disabled by setting `BUILDX_GIT_INFO=0`. `buildctl` does not set VCS hints based on `.git` directory, and values would need to be passed manually with `--opt`. ### References - Inline credentials in URLs deprecated in RFC3986 https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-3.2.1
