Recent Docker Compose Security Vulnerabilities
Docker Compose Remote OCI Path Traversal (v2.39 & earlier)
CVE-2025-62725
- October 27, 2025
Docker Compose trusts the path information embedded in remote OCI compose artifacts. When a layer includes the annotations com.docker.compose.extends or com.docker.compose.envfile, Compose joins the attackersupplied value from com.docker.compose.file/com.docker.compose.envfile with its local cache directory and writes the file there. This affects any platform or workflow that resolves remote OCI compose artifacts, Docker Desktop, standalone Compose binaries on Linux, CI/CD runners, cloud dev environments is affected. An attacker can escape the cache directory and overwrite arbitrary files on the machine running docker compose, even if the user only runs readonly commands such as docker compose config or docker compose ps. This issue is fixed in v2.40.2.
