A path traversal vulnerability was found in gvproxy, the network forwarder provided by the gvisor-tap-vsock package
Red Hat · Red Hat Build of Podman Desktop
A path traversal flaw in gvproxy, the network forwarder shipped with the gvisor-tap-vsock package in Red Hat Build of Podman Desktop, lets the unauthenticated /services/forwarder/expose endpoint accept a caller-supplied socket path without validating it. An attacker with network access to that endpoint, requiring no authentication, no user interaction and no special configuration, can delete arbitrary files on the host system.
