CVE-2026-93320

BuildKit improperly handles special files in build snapshots

Published Oct 5, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
BuildKit may be tricked into performing file actions with special file inodes where regular files are expected. Special files may block operations or, on rootful workers, allow unintended host device access.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Avoid untrusted builds. Rootless mode mitigates device access but not denial of service.
