Last modified
CVE-2026-41888 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Distribution is a toolkit to pack, ship, store, and deliver container content. Prior to 3.1.1, tag deletion via the DELETE /v2/<name>/manifests/<tag> endpoint bypasses the storage.delete.enabled: false configuration, allowing any API client to remove tags from repositories even when the operator has explicitly disabled deletion. EPSS estimates a 0.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
