_Last updated September 13, 2024_

Two remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities in Docker Desktop related to Docker Extensions were reported by Cure53 and were fixed on September 12 in the 4.34.2 release.

CVE-2024-8695: A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability via crafted extension description/changelog could be abused by a malicious extension in Docker Desktop before 4.34.2. [Critical] CVE-2024-8696: A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability via crafted extension publisher-url/additional-urls could be abused by a malicious extension in Docker Desktop before 4.34.2. [High]

No existing extensions exploiting the vulnerabilities were found in the Extensions Marketplace. The Docker Team will be closely monitoring and diligently reviewing any requests for publishing new extensions.

We strongly encourage you to update to Docker Desktop 4.34.2. If you are unable to update promptly, you can disable Docker Extensions as a workaround.
