{"id":"AZL-82985","summary":"CVE-2026-33414 affecting package podman 5.6.1-9","details":"Podman is a tool for managing OCI containers and pods. Versions 4.8.0 through 5.8.1 contain a command injection vulnerability in the HyperV machine backend in pkg/machine/hyperv/stubber.go, where the VM image path is inserted into a PowerShell double-quoted string without sanitization, allowing $() subexpression injection. Because PowerShell evaluates subexpressions inside double-quoted strings before executing the outer command, an attacker who can control the VM image path through a crafted machine name or image directory can execute arbitrary PowerShell commands with the privileges of the Podman process. On typical Windows installations this means SYSTEM-level code execution, and only Windows is affected as the code is exclusive to the HyperV backend. This issue has been patched in version 5.8.2.","modified":"2026-08-31T05:26:07Z","published":"2026-04-14T23:16:27Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-33414"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-33414"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"podman","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/podman"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"5.6.1-9"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-82985.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
