CVE-2026-15789

The client needs to have valid permissions to access the BuildKit control API to issue builds, e.g., bypass authentication, etc.

MEDIUM 6.9EPSS 0.31%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.31%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A custom client can produce such an upload request to the BuildKit daemon that files can escape from the BuildKit-controlled state directory. The client needs to have valid permissions to access the BuildKit control API to issue builds, e.g., bypass authentication, etc.
