| Exploitation Conditions | Requires the Docker Sandboxes managed-credential injection feature to be in use with an OAuth-based provider, AND attacker-controlled (untrusted/malicious) code executing inside the sandbox, AND a user who actively completes the OAuth authorization flow (UI:A). Exploitation is bounded by this mandatory user interaction and by the need for code execution already inside the sandbox (local vector) - a remote, unauthenticated, no-interaction attack is not possible. The core technical trigger is reaching the genuine provider token endpoint via a case-variant hostname that DNS routing resolves but the case-sensitive masking logic fails to match. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but moderate-priority confidentiality issue, not a high-urgency emergency. The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H) scores 6.7 (Medium) and is internally consistent with the description: exploitation originates from code already running locally inside a Docker Sandbox (AV:L), requires no privileges (PR:N), but hinges on the victim actively completing an OAuth flow (UI:A), and yields high confidentiality impact (VC:H) with no integrity or availability effect (VI:N/VA:N). No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC are present in the provided data, so there is no evidence of active or at-scale exploitation - the risk is latent and conditional. The limiting factor is significant: an attacker gains nothing unless a user voluntarily completes the OAuth authorization, so this favors a targeted, opportunistic scenario (malicious or compromised code inside a sandbox waiting for a credential flow) rather than mass automated exploitation. Signals are consistent rather than conflicting; the main caveat is sourcing - the analysis rests solely on Docker's own advisory and documentation links, with no third-party corroboration of affected versions or fix availability. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A developer runs an untrusted or malicious AI-agent workload inside a Docker Sandbox configured for managed credential injection. The malicious code requests the OAuth token endpoint using a case-variant hostname (e.g., altered capitalization) that still routes correctly via case-insensitive DNS but evades the case-sensitive masking check; when the user then completes the OAuth flow, the provider's unmasked access and refresh tokens are handed directly to the sandboxed code. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026
Docker Sandboxes can expose host-managed OAuth access and refresh tokens to untrusted code inside a sandbox when the managed-credential injection feature is in use and a user actively completes the OAuth authorization flow. A case-sensitivity mismatch in token-endpoint hostname masking (CWE-178) lets malicious code request a case-variant hostname that reaches the genuine provider while bypassing response masking; exploitation requires local code execution inside the sandbox plus user interaction, not a remotely exploitable, no-interaction attack. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no KEV or EPSS data is provided; the independent assessment rates this as a moderate-priority confidentiality issue rather than a high-urgency emergency.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch or exact fixed version is identified in the provided data. Until a fix is available, disable Docker Sandboxes managed credential injection for OAuth-based providers or avoid running untrusted code in any sandbox where host-managed OAuth credentials are configured; this removes the token-disclosure path but breaks seamless credential injection for legitimate sandbox workloads. As an additional compensating control, require OAuth authorization flows to be completed only when no untrusted code is executing in the sandbox and restrict sandbox egress to only the minimum required provider endpoints, though case-variant hostname bypasses may still evade allowlists and egress restrictions can break legitimate provider access. Monitor sandbox network activity for case-variant token-endpoint hostnames and review the vendor documentation at https://docs.docker.com/ai/sandboxes/ and https://docs.docker.com/ai/sandboxes/configuration/credentials/#how-credential-injection-works for updated guidance.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Docker Sandboxes' managed credential injection is designed to let sandboxed workloads use host-managed credentials without exposing the underlying secrets. For OAuth providers, when the sandbox requests the provider's token endpoint, Docker Sandboxes is supposed to mask the returned access and refresh tokens in the response. The implementation compared the token-endpoint hostname case-sensitively when deciding whether to apply masking, while DNS request routing resolves hostnames case-insensitively. This mismatch (CWE-178, Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity) means a case-variant hostname can route to the legitimate OAuth provider yet fail the masking check, returning tokens to the sandbox. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:docker:docker_sandboxes:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* (wildcard version), and the vendor-published CVSS 4.0 vector reflects local access, low complexity, no privileges, active user interaction, and high confidentiality impact only. The independent CVSS 3.1 assessment is AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, emphasizing that the attack is bounded by local code execution already inside the sandbox and a user completing the OAuth flow.

Attack runs from code already inside the sandbox (AV:L) and needs the user to complete OAuth (UI:R); only credential confidentiality is lost (C:H, I:N, A:N).

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
Docker Sandboxes compared OAuth token-endpoint hostnames case-sensitively when deciding whether to mask managed credential responses, while request routing treated DNS hostnames case-insensitively. Untrusted code inside a sandbox could use a case-variant hostname to reach the genuine provider endpoint while bypassing response masking. If a user completed the OAuth flow, the provider's access and refresh tokens could be returned unmasked to the sandbox, exposing host-managed credentials.
