NVD description

An Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in Docker Hub's account-to-organization conversion feature allowed an authenticated attacker to reassign a personal access token (PAT) they controlled to another Docker Hub user without rotating or revoking the token secret. The unchanged PAT then authenticated to the registry as the recipient and could pull, push, or delete images, within its scopes, in repositories accessible to that user, including organization repositories.

    🚨 DOCKER HUB DISCLOSES CRITICAL TOKEN-IMPERSONATION FLAW (CVE-2026-105445) Docker published an advisory on Oct 12, 2026 for a Docker Hub flaw that could let an attacker's personal access token (PAT) act as another user at the registry level. How it worked: • Converting a personal account into an organization re-assigned that account's PATs to whoever was named as the new owner, without rotating the secret or asking the owner • An attacker could name a target as owner and keep using the token as that target: pull, push or delete images in repos the target could reach • Exposure window: Aug 26, 2024 to Sept 30, 2026 What Docker says: • Researchers Peter Molnar and Krisztian Hozak reported it Sept 30; Docker deployed a fix the same afternoon • Affected users were emailed Oct 2; transferred PATs were deactivated Oct 8, except where owners opted out • After reviewing ~304,000 pushes made with transferred tokens, Docker found no evidence of exploitation ⚠️ Analyst Note: This was registry impersonation, not account takeover: no web UI access, password, email or 2FA changes. But publishing images under a trusted name is a real supply-chain risk, so Docker rated it critical. Review your Docker Hub PATs, revoke anything you don't recognize, and use organization access tokens for org automation.

    1/5 A Docker Hub token was created by an attacker. After an account-to-organization conversion, the same secret authenticated as the victim. CVE-2026-105445, “GhostPat,” enabled registry impersonation without stealing a password. Here is the chain. 🧵 https://t.co/RRPrFbZtNM

    เช้านี้เปิด Docker Hub ไล่ดู Personal access tokens ก่อนกินกาแฟเลยว่ะ ข่าว CVE-2026-105445 (GhostPat, CVSS 9.4) แปลง personal account เป็น org แล้ว PAT ถูกโอนให้ owner แบบไม่ถามไม่แจ้ง push/pull/delete image ในชื่อคนอื่นได้ Docker แก้ฝั่ง Hub แล้ว ยังไม่เจอ exploit แต่ revoke token แปลกๆ และให้ CI ใช้ org access token

    A new Docker Hub vulnerability (CVE-2026-105445) let attackers impersonate users and publish container images using transferred PATs—fixed Sept 30. The flaw stemmed from Docker’s account-to-organization conversion that moved personal access tokens without owner approval or notice. While full account takeover wasn’t possible, image pushes, deletions or pulls under trusted repo names were. Docker’s audit of ~304,000 image pushes found no abuse. Users should revoke unknown or unused PATs and switch to org-level tokens. #Security #SupplyChain #Docker #Vulnerability #PAT #DevSecOps #ImageSecurity #Security #Docker #ImageSecurity #SupplyChain #Vulnerability #DevSecOps #PAT #TokenSecurity https://thedailytechfeed.com/docker-hub-flaw-let-attackers-impersonate-users-push-malicious-images/

    Docker Hub let attackers access any user's container repositories with a personal access token (CVE-2026-105445). The vulnerability is patched, but Docker hasn't disclosed when the flaw was introduced, how long it was exploitable, or whether any repositories were actually compromised. If you run infrastructure on images you didn't build yourself, how do you verify no one tampered with them between the vendor and your deployment? #cybersecurity #infosec

    Docker Hub fixed a critical flaw (CVE-2026-105445, CVSS 9.4). Account conversion could reassign a personal access token to another user without rotating it. The token then worked as that user within its scope. Docker says it found no evidence of exploitation. The fix is server-side.

    🚨Critical - Docker Hub PAT Reassignment via Account-to-Org Conversion (CVE-2026-105445) Docker Hub’s account-to-organization conversion flow incorrectly assigns privileges, letting an authenticated attacker rebind a PAT they control to another user without rotating/revoking the secret. The unchanged PAT then authenticates to the registry as the victim, enabling pull/push/delete within the token scopes across repos the victim can access (incl org repos). 👉Affected: Docker Hub (account-to-organization conversion feature)
