{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-33414","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":"2026-09-14T17:03:08.139993197Z","published":"2026-04-14T23:16:27.987Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-33414"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-33414"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"podman","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/podman?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["5.4.2+ds1-2","5.6.1+ds1-1","5.6.1+ds1-2","5.6.1+ds2-2","5.6.1+ds2-3","5.6.2+ds1-1","5.6.2+ds1-2","5.6.2+ds1-3","5.6.2+ds1-3+exp1","5.6.2+ds1-4","5.7.0+ds2-1","5.7.0+ds2-2","5.7.0+ds2-3","5.8.0+ds1-1","5.8.1+ds1-1","5.8.1+ds1-2","5.8.1+ds1-3","5.8.2+ds1-1","5.8.2+ds1-2","5.8.2+ds1-3","5.8.3+ds1-1","5.8.4+ds1-1","5.8.4+ds1-2","5.8.6+ds1-1","5.8.6+ds1-2","6.1.1+ds1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"unimportant"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-33414.json"}},{"package":{"name":"podman","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/podman?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"5.8.2+ds1-1"}]}],"versions":["5.4.2+ds1-2","5.6.1+ds1-1","5.6.1+ds1-2","5.6.1+ds2-2","5.6.1+ds2-3","5.6.2+ds1-1","5.6.2+ds1-2","5.6.2+ds1-3","5.6.2+ds1-3+exp1","5.6.2+ds1-4","5.7.0+ds2-1","5.7.0+ds2-2","5.7.0+ds2-3","5.8.0+ds1-1","5.8.1+ds1-1","5.8.1+ds1-2","5.8.1+ds1-3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"unimportant"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-33414.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
