Last modified
CVE-2022-38730 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.3/10 on the CVSS scale. Docker Desktop for Windows before 4.6 allows attackers to overwrite any file through the windowscontainers/start dockerBackendV2 API by controlling the data-root field inside the DaemonJSON field in the WindowsContainerStartRequest class. This allows exploiting a symlink vulnerability in ..\dataRoot\network\files\local-kv.db because of a TOCTOU race condition.. EPSS estimates a 0.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
