Docker Hub flaw let attackers impersonate users, tamper with images

Docker disclosed CVE-2026-105445, a critical vulnerability in Docker Hub that allowed attackers to access other users' container repositories using a personal access token (PAT). The flaw created exposure for image tampering and user impersonation across the platform.

Why it matters: Organizations using Docker Hub for container storage and distribution face risks of repository compromise, poisoned images, and supply chain attacks; teams should audit PAT usage and revoke tokens created before the patch date.

Docker Hub flaw let attackers impersonate users, tamper with images

Docker disclosed a critical vulnerability (CVE-2026-105445) affecting Docker Hub that allowed attackers to access another user's container repositories by leveraging a personal access token (PAT). The flaw enabled unauthorized users to impersonate legitimate account holders and modify stored container images.

Why it matters: DevOps teams and container users relying on Docker Hub for image storage and distribution face the risk of supply chain compromise through impersonation and image tampering; immediate review of personal access tokens and repository access controls is needed.
