AI-suggested

Upgrade Docker Sandboxes to version 0.53.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Ensure that sbx and sandboxd processes do not run with environment variables such as HOME or XDG_STATE_HOME set to attacker-controlled locations. Follow vendor guidance to avoid privileged invocations with attacker-influenced environments.

Description

CVE-2026-126329 is a vulnerability in Docker Sandboxes where existing state and configuration directories are reused without verifying ownership. This flaw allows a local unprivileged user to potentially execute commands as root if the sandbox processes run as root with environment variables pointing to attacker-controlled locations. The issue affects Linux and macOS and is fixed in Docker Sandboxes version 0.53.0.
