CVE-2026-121541

Bake filesystem path entitlements approval can be skipped in some multi-target builds

Published Nov 3, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 5.6 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In Docker Buildx versions v0.19.0 through v0.38.0, an untrusted Bake definition that builds multiple targets together may expose files accessible to the Buildx client without the expected fs.read approval. Under certain conditions, filesystem paths from some targets are not verified against the approved entitlements. Users who run untrusted Bake definitions may be affected. The issue is fixed in v0.38.1.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Upgrade Docker Buildx to v0.38.1 or later.


Vendor Workaround

Run only trusted Bake definitions until upgrading. Check that Bake definitions do not contain suspicious paths outside trusted directories.
