This may result in executing an arbitrary command on the host, via a plugin that consumes container labels for some operations.\n\n### Patches\nThis bug has been fixed in the following containerd versions:\n\n* 2.3.2\n* 2.2.5\n* 2.1.9\n* 2.0.10\n* 1.7.33\n\nUsers should update to these versions to resolve the issue.\n\n### Workarounds\nEnsure that only trusted images are used.\n\n### Credits\nThe containerd project would like to thank Anthropic Research, in collaboration with Claude, the GKE Security Team using Gemini, and Robert Prast (@robertprast) for independently discovering and responsibly disclosing this issue in accordance with the [containerd security policy](https://github.com/containerd/project/blob/main/SECURITY.md).\n\n### For more information\n\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n\n* Open an issue in [containerd](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues/new/choose)\n* Email us at [security@containerd.io](mailto:security@containerd.io)\n\nTo report a security issue in containerd:\n* [Report a new vulnerability](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/security/advisories/new)\n* Email us at [security@containerd.io](mailto:security@containerd.io)","affected":[{"package":{"name":"github.com/containerd/containerd","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containerd/containerd"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"1.7.0"},{"fixed":"1.7.33"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/06/GHSA-xhf5-7wjv-pqxp/GHSA-xhf5-7wjv-pqxp.json"}},{"package":{"name":"github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containerd/containerd/v2"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"2.0.0"},{"fixed":"2.0.10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/06/GHSA-xhf5-7wjv-pqxp/GHSA-xhf5-7wjv-pqxp.json"}},{"package":{"name":"github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containerd/containerd/v2"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"2.1.0"},{"fixed":"2.1.9"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/06/GHSA-xhf5-7wjv-pqxp/GHSA-xhf5-7wjv-pqxp.json"}},{"package":{"name":"github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containerd/containerd/v2"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"2.2.0"},{"fixed":"2.2.5"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/06/GHSA-xhf5-7wjv-pqxp/GHSA-xhf5-7wjv-pqxp.json"}},{"package":{"name":"github.com/containerd/containerd/v2","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/containerd/containerd/v2"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"2.3.0"},{"fixed":"2.3.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/06/GHSA-xhf5-7wjv-pqxp/GHSA-xhf5-7wjv-pqxp.json"}}],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd/security/advisories/GHSA-xhf5-7wjv-pqxp"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/containerd/containerd"}],"database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-74"],"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-06-19T19:35:31Z","nvd_published_at":null,"severity":"HIGH"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
