Docker Desktop version 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 has a bug that may log sensitive information (access token or password) on the users machine during login. This only affects users if they are on Docker Desktop 4.3.0, 4.3.1 and the user has logged in while on 4.3.0, 4.3.1. Gaining access to this data would require having access to the user’s local files.

Weakness

Information written to log files can be of a sensitive nature and give valuable guidance to an attacker or expose sensitive user information.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version

Docker_desktop Docker 4.3.1 (including) 4.3.1 (including)
