CVE-2026-33997: Moby has an Off-by-one error in its plugin privilege validation

March 27, 2026

A security vulnerability has been detected that allows plugins privilege validation to be bypassed during docker plugin install. Due to an error in the daemon’s privilege comparison logic, the daemon may incorrectly accept a privilege set that differs from the one approved by the user.

Plugins that request exactly one privilege are also affected, because no comparison is performed at all.
