## Summary A command injection vulnerability exists in Podman's HyperV machine backend. The VM image path is inserted into a PowerShell double-quoted string without sanitization, allowing `$()` subexpression injection. ## Affected Code **File**: `pkg/machine/hyperv/stubber.go:647` ```go resize := exec.Command("powershell", []string{ "-command", fmt.Sprintf("Resize-VHD \"%s\" %d", imagePath.GetPath(), newSize.ToBytes()), }...) ``` ## Root Cause PowerShell evaluates `$()` subexpressions inside double-quoted strings before executing the outer command. The `fmt.Sprintf` call places the user-controlled image path directly into double quotes without escaping or sanitization. ## Impact An attacker who can control the VM image path (through a crafted machine name or image directory) can execute arbitrary PowerShell commands with the privileges of the Podman process on the Windows host. On typical Windows installations, this means SYSTEM-level code execution. ## Patch https://github.com/containers/podman/commit/571c842bd357ee626019ea97d030fb772fc654ed The affected code is only used on Windows, all other operating systems are not affected by this and can thus ignore the CVE patch. ## Credit We like to thank Sang-Hoon Choi (@KoreaSecurity) for reporting this issue to us.
